you pretty much answered your own question. still, let me give you some examples on what colors you should use for each one of those ambients.

a gloomy ambient will feast on dark, desaturated colors. brown and several shades of black and yellow are usually predominant on these ambients, although other colors can exist to prevent everything to be plain and dull. if everything is darks or black, then it ceases to b gloomy and becomes darkness. the point is to express demotivated, lifeless scenario.

a cold scene could be more than just a gradient of blue and white. colros like yellow from the sunlight, purples of all saturations, even some light oranges, etc. the key is to pick cold colors and be able to make them coexist to -again- avoid a dull/plain scenario.

tropical scenarios are all about colorful and vast amounts of hues all over the places. the predominant colors is obiusly green, but you can pretty much pick anything to work on these. just remember to be careful on how much saturation you use on those, because using too many colors doesnt mean you'll, and that jungles aren't the same as forests.
