I'm no expert on coloring but I wish this helps. Backgrounds are really their onw character and as such you must give equal or more detail to those as for the characters. If you began to rush things just go and take a rest, rushing in a background is really bad because the errors are more obvious on them.

Hello, I hope this advice can help <3
I agree with what the person above mentioned nvn It's always a good idea to lay our your colors for everything first to get a better idea of the tones you want to use. Lighting and shadows are important to consider on any piece. Generally a good light source will change where you have your highlights and mid-tones. However the direction and intensity of your light source always stems back to the background you're working with. It's important to be bold and exaggerate different points of interest in your backdrops. Leading the viewer's eye around the piece can be successfully accomplished in many ways, including varying the focal points in the back. Avoiding tangency's and avoiding weighted areas of interested will help make the piece feel more comfortable with the audience. While you don't have to add an immense amount of details, it's vital to have enough information for the person viewing to correctly understand what the background actually is and what space your character's are occupying. The only reason I haven't sent you a note is that I don't consider myself an expert in these areas, but I am in college for art. So if you'd like my help via note or Skype, feel free to contact me c:

It's usually handy to start with a gradient of some sort, to establish a mood, I find it easer to do the bg colouring first , so that the characters can fit in better once i get a hang of how to shade it. I'm not entirely sure what the bg is on this? is it a wall? 
Large soft brushes with dark and mid tones would work well tho ;v;
sorry im not good at crits so this wasnt really one..more so some tips. anyway i hope you get on well with it nice to see your work again!

Ask Danzzilla, or Ichan-desu, Their backgrounds are pretty awesome.
