Answer #1
Are you using the correct color? By that I mean, are you selecting the correct color as Foreground/Background?..

Answer #2
I click the white area and it changes colour fine but when i click the picture bit, where the section is pink thats when it goes dark.
Answer #3
Umm… Change both the colors to the one that you want. Then try again o.o” also, Try a paintbrush tool, and check if the same color shows up using the paintbrush (as a test)

Answer #4
the paint brush shows the colour, while the bucket doesnt on the picture.
Answer #5
you useing indexed (256 colors) or RGB (16 million colors) color
look under image/mode menu
RGB (jpeg) is what you want
Answer #6
also, check if the “mode” is set to normal not say “overlay” or “color dodge” or something like that. see the pic to see what i mean.

if that isnt it, post a screenshot of PS just before and after you use the paint bucket so we can see whats going on in there.
