## 7. Color and Indicator Area

### Color Area

Color area

  This area shows GIMP's basic palette, consisting of two colors, the Foreground and Background, used for painting, filling, and many other operations. Clicking on either of the color displays brings up a Color Editor dialog, which permits you to change it.

Default colors

  Clicking on this small symbol resets the Foreground and Background colors to black and white, respectively.

Swap FG/BG colors

  Clicking on the small curved line with two arrowheads causes the Foreground and Background colors to be swapped.

### Indicator Area

This part of the Toolbox shows the currently selected brush, pattern, and gradient. Clicking on any of them brings up a dialog that allows you to change it.
