Color Dynamics Brush settings

[pslane1]

I have trouble getting the colors I want to use when I try to adjust Color Dynamics in Photoshop CC2019.  I set the foreground to a color I want to use and the background to the second color I want to mix with it but no matter how I set the sliders I get other colors I don't want.  How do I get just the foreground and the background colors to appear when I paint?

Please post meaningful screenshots including the pertinent Panels to illustrate what you mean.

What exactly do you want to achieve (could you post an example)? 

But if I understand you correctly you want the feature to do something it is not designed to do.

Foreground/Background Jitter and Control

Specifies how paint varies between the foreground color and background color.

To specify a percentage by which the color of the paint can vary, type a number, or use the slider to enter a value. To specify how you want to control the color variance of brush marks, choose an option from the Control pop-up menu:

You can play around with the color dynamics in the brush settings.

If you want the brush to paint only with the exact colors of your foreground and background colors, make sure to set the foreground/background jitter to 100%

Set the hue, saturation, brightness and purity jitter to 0%.

You also have to check the box "apply per tip" so the colors mix while painting.

Is this helpful for you?

Thank you!  I played around, setting jitter to 100 % like you suggested but found that to get the dual colors I also had to set the purity to about 50%.
