I personally think a higlihgt shade even further for that triangle at the bottom.  And show the 2x2 squares one.

Looks like your weakness has been discovered. Large open areas that need coloring. I remember when I was coloring the lineart, I just broke it down into sections by throwing in shadows first. The folds and such created by the shadows really made it easier to figure out where to place the highlights. I'd say you should do the same. Instead of that pillowshading-esque thing you've got going, just put the palette to the side and just work with the shadows a bit until you've got different sections placed where the highlights can then be developed.

 Heh, it isn't really always yellow highlights or blue shadowish shadows in pixel art. Heh, you might wanna focus on getting smaller shading areas.
