As I understand the process (but I've slept since I was told about it), you start with a dark version of you basic color then work up to the lights by adding white. I would imagine that this works better for some colors than others. When I see it, it's usually emulating an old sepia toned photograph.

Mini (30mm) painter Jen Haley is a master at this. She even has her own DVD. Go here: http://www.miniaturementor.com/painting_tutorials.html
