With any project you always want to create a background copy layer first, then do your work in that layer.

To color in a specific area, select the Magic Wand tool (looks like a magic wand) from the toolbar, then click in the area you wish to select and color. If it selects too big of an area, you'll need to lower the fill percentage on the Layers panel. Drop it by 10% intervals until you get the area you want. If the area has a lot of colors, you may have to increase your zoom level and color individual pixels.

Once you have the area selected, go to Edit - Fill, then use the Fill window to choose the color you wish. If it's a color from another image, you'll need to have that image open and visible for the eyedropper tool to select it.

Alternatively, you can use the Polygonal Lasso tool to select the edges of the area you wish to fill, or you can use the Eraser tool to erase the current pixels and then fill with the color you want.

What does Invert do in Photoshop?

The action Invert on any given Photoshop version makes the colors on the selected layer(s) become their opposites on the color scale. For example, black will become white, and visa versa. Dark gray will become Light Gray, and visa versa. The only exception to this is when you have a shape or part of a shape which is a shade of gray exactly 50% black and 50% white, in which case there will be no color change.
