ITA, just away from my PC. Coloring has always been a sore spot for me so I probably don't have the best guidance.

Set up your work files to allow for flexibility. If all your color is on one layer it becomes really difficult to do tonal corrections. It's worse if you have gradients. Keeping your colors on separate layers can be tedious but it allows you to test out different colors with ease.

As lame as it sounds, when you're learning its best to do a trail by error until you find some colors that look nice.

Also try not to use the fill tool. It loves to leave gaps and attach to your line art. I use an inverse mask on the empty space around the subject and color that in manually.

>>6989197's advice is good. Most of color theory comes down to value. If you can understand value then picking attractive colors will become easier. I can do it by eye but will also use a grayscale view sometimes.

I use a combination of an airbrush and blurring solid block ins.
