I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. It looks like you want to change the color of the brush overlay, which can be done in the preferences, under cursor.

@MahaB82A that's nothing to do with the foreground/background colour, what he's showing is how to change the opacity/hardness and size of the Brush Tool

How did he get color RED while foreground color is BLUE?

[Ged_Traynor]

@MahaB82A this is just a shortcut to change the opacity/hardness and size of the Brush Tool.

With the Brush Tool selected, hold the Alt key and right click and you'll get them options, as I already mentioned it has nothing to do with the foreground colour, watch the video again

This is what is happening to me.

[Ged_Traynor · Accepted solution]

@MahaB82A that's because you're Alt + left clicking, that will sample a colour from the canvas using the eyedropper tool and that's why your foreground colour is changing to white, you need to Alt + Right click and not Alt + Left click on the mouse.

Thanks for the help.

In this case what determine the color because sometimes it comes as red & other time it is colorless.
