Hey, I like to help. Plus the wife and corgi at pretty good at looking after themselves. =)
Don't be afraid to push the glazes. I'll usually build up color over 3-5 layers (making sure it's dry each time otherwise they don't add, it just pushes the first one away). Keep making the color stronger and stronger. It's like contrast, until you've gone too far you won't know where that line is. Attached are two images of my Saxon, before and then after glazing. Only difference is those red, blue, and purple glazes. The rest is untouched. You can see there's been a pretty big color shift.
My point is, play around and experiment with it. You have to decide what is the right amount of color for your project. But don't be afraid to push it a little farther than you would otherwise. You've got to exaggerate effects so it will show up well in the photos!
