Defining colours
Now, a few things to remember about how these colours are used:
Colour and Greyscale 121
• When you draw a selection, shape, or use the paintbrush tools, you
could apply the foreground colour.
• However, the black text in the design could be created after swapping
foreground and background colours using the tab's button.
Loading the foreground and background colour with two frequently
used colours is a great way to boost productivity when painting and
drawing.
Why background colour?
When you cut, delete, or erase an area on the Background layer, the
area exposes the currently set background colour—as if that colour
were there "behind" the portion of the image being removed.
(Layers other than the Background layers behave differently: on
these, a removed area exposes transparency.)
