1. Controlling light and tone
Besides lighting, you can control the way a scene looks by controlling the reflectivity of elements in the scene or the tonal range.
The best way to limit colors in a scene is to limit the color palette itself.
Think about the clothes people wear and all the other items in a scene.
It is a good idea to create a color scheme.
Here is a site with selected movies and their color schemes: LINK
Light has color too.
Here is an illustrated chart of color temperatures.
If you want to reproduce a particular light color, you can adjust your white balance to fake out the camera.
Or you can use gels- available for checkout in the checkout room.

1. Controlling light and tone
Besides lighting, you can control the way a scene looks by controlling the reflectivity of elements in the scene or the tonal range.
The range of brightness can be represented as grey tones. There are
3 ways to control tone or brightness in a shot.
Reflective control- which is accomplished through art direction - what people wear, what you see in scene. All talk shows and lighting schemes where there is even light diffused everywhere uses reflective control.
Incident control- lighting. what lights you use and where you place them.
Exposure - camera and lens adjustments
Most productions use all three forms of controlling the image.
Here is more about tone with a bunch of illustrated examples. LINK
2. Controlling color
Contrast (difference) and Affinity (similarity) are important factors in directing the eye of the viewer.
Saturation control (how deep the colors are) is another way to control the image.
