That's not a layer mask. That's a normal pixel layer clipped to the underlying pixel layer.

 

Add a layer mask by clicking the mask icon in the Layers panel. It will appear as an additional thumbnail beside the pixel thumbnail. A mask is always black and white. Black areas hide the pixel content, white reveals.

 

Here's how layer masks look:

    I'm sorry but i think i confused "Layer Mask", with "Clip Mask Layer" i don't want a Layer mask i want a clip masl layer above my painting so i can only paint over a certain area and not the background. But whener i add it my colors will change.

    The appearance of the top Layer in a Clipping Mask Group obviously depends on the base Layer. 

    So what are the base Layer’s Opacity, Fill, Transparency of the actual pixels, …? 

     

    According to your screenshot it is semi-transparent, so the result would seem to be as expected.
