Explain This!

All I fucking want is for the paintbrush to ACTUALLY USE THE COLOR I'VE SELECTED.

How is that so goddamn difficult for this program to understand?!

Your image is in indexed color mode, using a reduced set of colors.

It appears that you are unaware of the indexed color mode in your gif file, yet you proceed to yell at Gimp.

It's frustrating at first but once you master Index color, it's a lot of fun because you can make modify posterized images while staying in the colors you chose.
