Brushes Only Paint in Black

I've installed some brushes in Gimp, but they will only paint in black. I was told before to first change the brush to greyscale and then flatten it, before installing on Gimp. That worked perfectly last session - but now it doesn't work at all. Any ideas? Black-only brushes are useless for my projects.

Thanks in advance.

You can open the brushes as images and check to see if the brush(s) are Grayscale or RGB.

If you make the mandatory 5 posts required to be able to add attachments and or other uploads to a post.
You can post the brush or brushes in question and we can check them out.
To see what the issue might be?
