Learn how the color wheel works, this is the best video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj1FK8n7WgY

then think about what colors communicate (or don't communicate, always think of opposites) when picking exact colors. For example I like using pinkish hues in logos because it's not a color you see often in this setting and so it catches the eye. It communicates you do things differently. I don't know if I really believe in the meaning of color thing, e.g. red looks like fire and so red will make people angry, that kind of stuff. They say blue light calms people down but I hate blue so it has the opposite effect on me lol, I would go mad staying in a blue room

edit: one thing I am not sure is mentioned in the video. Color theory comes from centuries ago, where the medium was paint. Thus if you think about paint, saturation = adding more white paint to the mix. Brightness = adding more black paint to the mix. Value = adding more color pigment to the mix.
