I can tell your highlights have been done in one coat, so I suppose it's experience that tells me.
Getting bright colours can be done various ways, I tend to go for a white primer then a bright base colour, then do my shading. This leaves the bright colour untouched and just needing a few highlights. Several coats of paint improve the contrast, and the word contrast is a big one. Here's the trick, sometimes colours look brighter because the shading has been done well to make what is a bright colour look brighter. If you notice my elf command, the blue cloak is not that bright, it's just well layered in colour with the right amount of shading, in the right place to make it pop. The cloak alone must have taken 2 hours to get to this stage.

Start a new WIP, that way others can give a different view point and pick up on anything I miss.
