color picker tool and the color gradient box don't align

[Hoi Yeung331788629i5r]

I opened photoshop today and went about drawing on my piece from yesterday.  I then realized when I used the color picking tool and selected a color, I can paint with that color but it doesnt show up on the gradient box

 

as you can see above im painting with a black color that I got by using color picker but on the gradient color scale it doesnt show black it shows a light blue gray.  This might not be an issue for other photoshop users but for any illustrators this makes it impossible to judge colors

I've moved your post from Using the Community to Photoshop for you.

Can you take a screenshot for us of your entire workspace — not a photo with your phone? Here's how:

hey everyone I figured it out.  I Found another person with the same issue, they installed an older version of photoshop and the issue fixed.  I did that but it didnt work.  When I tried it again what I did was deleting a photoshop (I have 2 versions of photoshop downloaded 24.7 and 25.1 the new version)  I deleted the newest version leaving with only the older photoshop version on my computer and the bug was gone.

Still not a 'fix' for the bug in the 25.1 version though.

It was a fix for the OP (Author). You might want to start a new thread.
