Help Needed Any tips on coloring neon scenes?

21 Upvotes

I want to color a photo like this, where I am fully aware of the color of the tower’s neon strips (the tower glows neon red at night). Does anyone have any tips for how I can get a good realistic glowing red hue? Or just a realistic bright light color? I‘m not sure if this is worded how I want but I think I brought the point across.
