Cheeky Colour

Another factor of my work i've been trying to progress with is colour. So i've been thinking of diffeent ways i can structure my drawings in the form of colour, 
Few initial ideas;

. Refer to the subject in the original photographs and take the colour from what they are wearing.

. Focus on what part of the body the lines are representing, thinking off skin/hair colour

. Consider the type of movement im visualizing and use a colour which relates to the ferocity of the moves, for example blue=calm and red=mental!

From these initial ideas i think there's some potential in the latter, so i tried to produce something according to this rule, 

Showing here a simple block colour and the calm to vigerous styles, In all honestly im not too sure on it, i think it looks a bit too jagged/rough maybe i could neaten it up? 
But looking at these together the block just seems a little more clear i guess, I'm thinking maybe looking the movements as a whole and if it is busy and a tad mental, be a bright red and if its cool and calm a baby blue?
we'll see...
