1. Get a nice B&W headshot of your subject.
2. Make a careful selection of just the subject.
3. Use the selection to cut out the subject and place him on a transparent background. Make a 2nd copy of the subject
4. Make several empty layers above him - one for each color you want.
5. With the selection active, fill the selected area in each of these layers with one of the solid colors.
6. Use the "move" tool to move each of the colored layers in turn away from its original position.
7. Put the duplicate of the B&W layer at the top of the layer stack.
8. Tweak away till you are happy with the result. Don't forget to try the various layer blending modes, opacities, etc. to give you different effects where the different layers overlap away from the person.

I used a similar technique as Tom did.
Get a subject, remove the background.
Make several copies of the subject with the BG removed under the main image.
Add a hue & sat layer and clip, colorize, lower the opacity, and move each of the copies.
Below these, add a new layer filled with white.
Sorry for the short explanation.........I have to run to work for now! If you can't follow, let me know, I will write better instructions later.
