try these basic ideas

1) before you start, turn your background into something darker than pure white, it doesn't matter what color grey is fine too like 20-30% grey is already fine. Remember "Colors can only exist in relation to each other" so having a pure white background "blinds your eyes" and makes every other color look dark in comparison to the entire picture making it difficult to see the different colors and difficult for you to pick colors that go well witch each other. As a result even your darkest areas (save for the lineart) will be very bright washed out color.

2) Put down the base colors with similar values before you start shading. You can even make a palette if you like just keep it simple when you are learning.

3) Check you picture in greyscale, use your software to convert it from color to greyscale and check the values and then back. This will help your eyes to learn seeing value better.
