Great job! I was writing something similar up a couple of weeks ago but had a computer problem and gave up.
You're far more thorough than I could be anyway, so it's all for the best.
One suggestion I have for anyone serious about learning this is to try it once on a color image first. So, take a color image, turn it to grayscale, then do your manual coloring. After you finish, compare your version to the real version to gauge how far you are from having natural looking colors. If that process seems like a waste of time, I'd say find a picture whose colors you like, and use that as a guide through your coloring process. As awesome as that chart Bazzah posted may be, having an actual picture for comparison can be a big help too.
