Fill In tool not working

Whenever I use the Paint Bucket Fill In tool, it does not fill in with the color I've have selected. Instead I have to click on the lassoed circle, 50 times until I finally get the color I want. To be clear, I take the paint bucket tool and click on the lassoed circle, and then the color is a light color. After clicking the image 50 times, it finally changes from a light color to the dark color I want, What do I need to do to just make the paint bucket tool fill in my circle by clicking it only once?

The Paint Bucket tool has a tolerance setting. The default is 32. Try changing it to 100, the maximum.

Maximum is 255 and it can be useful to uncheck Contiguous.
