Drawing a circle - stroke changes to gray

Up front, I am not an expert.

I am trying to draw a circle in Photoshop. In 'Stroke' the color red is selected.
However, that changes into gray once the circle is drawn. Tried over and over and even reset all tools.

 

Have two/three questions:

1. Am I selecting the right tool?  (Ellipse Tool)

2. Why does it change into gray

3. I might select Elliptical Marque Tool, draw a circle, then stroke,select red, but even then I  still get gray.

 

Anyone??

 

Thanks!

Ahum ...!

 

Feel so dumb...

THANK you so much! Didn't think of that. Solved indeed.
One last questions ..

- I assume Ellipse Tool should be used rather than Elliptical Marque Tool? (am not sure about the difference between these tools when drawing drawing circles)

 

Thanks again.

The Ellipse Tools can create (depending on the setting in the Options Bar) Paths or Shape Layers. 

The Elliptical Marquee Tool creates a Selection, which means pixels. 

 

Paths and Shape Layers will show no meaningful degredation on repeated transformations and can provide (depending on the output file format) provide vector data, so they do offer advantages.
