I haven't heard of this tutorial you are talking about but here's an idea...
Stamp the cloud on one layer a greyish color. Duplicate this layer and change the color of it in "image/adjust/hue and saturation" for another color you'd like in your cloud. Change the property of this layer to "color" and with the eraser and a soft brush, erase little bits of that layer so that the color or the original shows through.
Or another idea...
Stamp the cloud on one layer. Duplicate this layer and lock its transparency. Apply a gradient with colors you'd like on it or paint over it with the airbrush with the colors you want. Since the transparency is locked it will only paint or apply the gradient on the cloud. Then change the layer property to "color". If you'd like to see the color of the original show through, unlock the transparency and erase in some places with a soft brush.
You can try changing this layer property to something else too, "overlay", "color dodge" etc... might give some interesting results and play with the layer's opacity.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for and maybe this tutorial showed a better way of going about it but it might do the trick...
