For some reason, everytime i color the pictues I draw, i only end up messing them up. It has gotten to the point that now I only work in gray tones to keep from messing up the pictures. Do you have any tips on how to color pictures without losing important etails. Are there particular tools for this sort of thing?

Wait, what do you mean by "losing important details?"
Do you mean to say that whenever you color a drawing, you lose the lineart?
That would mean you're not coloring on a seperate layer below the lineart. Get the lineart on a transparent layer and make a layer below that. Color on that layer below it. Use as many layers as you need for different colors and areas.
If this didn't answer your question, please give me more details on the problem.

No, I mean that when I color pictures that I've drwan, I always notice that some of the details that were there when it was in black and white, seem to be covered over by the colors. But, maybe it's what I'm coloring with, that's why I was wondering.

So, you are coloring with CG then? What program? Are you scanning drawings to color? If so, so as to not cover any of the drawing with color, you can set the line art layer to "multiply" (at least, that's what it's called in Photoshop, and it'll be in the layers window.. I know other programs have it though.) That way, you can put all your coloring beneath it, as though the white parts are transparent. :3 (Best tool evar. Well, not always good for light-colored line art, but.. whatever.)
(Or else if you're just drawing them on the comp.. yeah, drawing on a transparent layer is best, like Kupo said.)
