When you color, do you lay down the base colors first and work from there, or try to do it all at once?

I fill in areas with the middle shade first, then add highlights and shading to them.

Normally I color the base with the primary colors alone and then I add a second layer to put the shading there.

1.sketch out lines
2.add base color(s)
3.shade and clean up lines simultaneously
4.mess with palette until it doesnt suck

(I use ms paint)
The way I have been coloring land tiles is to lay down a pallet of potential colors. I work with these colors till I decide which color types to use. Finally, I add lighter and darker versions based on need.
For people I chose the colors as needed. When I choose the color, I do something similar to the land tiles.
