Hi, here's a screenshot. It shows me the colour, but it doesn't come up on the colour choice. When I try to click on the "change foreground colour" docked tab, it disappears.

GIMP Version: 2.8.14 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: Basic Level Hi there, I've been using the colour palette a lot recently and have created a few palettes for my projects, however, the colour picker suddenly stopped work. Also, if I try to delete a colour from a palette, it won't let me. I've checked the image mode is RGB and I've even reinstalled GIMP to try and reset everything, but it just hasn't fixed the problem. Please help!!! Thank you in advance. |

Can you post a screenshot of your Tool options for the Color Picker? |

Thank you for your help, but this didn't work last time. Yes I check that I'm in the right layer. I'm still getting used to Gimp, but I've worked with Photoshop & Illustrator and they all work similarly to gimp. Please don't assume everyone here is in their teens or 20s and looking for trouble. I'm a mature lady just looking for some help, but I guess this forum is not for the likes of me. Have a good life. |

Your screen shot shows two tools open at the same time, not known if that is intentional or not. Best to use one at a time. Color picker - click on the tool, click in the canvas. If using a paint tool, then hold ctrl key down and click in the canvas. Foreground select dialogue - use the picker from the dialogue, click in the canvas. Add to the rotating palette if required. 30 second demo: https://i.imgur.com/PLpQu2X.mp4 |
