Press Cmd or Ctrl 2 and let me know if that worked. Hold down the Ctrl key and press 2 for example.
Cmd = Mac
Ctrl = PC

Look at your document tab at the top. What does it say in parenthesis? Mine would be (RGB/8) for example.

Ok. That helps. Now open your History Panel Windows > History and go back a step at a time until you get your color back. The step below it might explain what happened.

it doesn't show anything other than brushstrokes, and when I try to go back a step that's what it undoes- the brushstrokes. it doesn't fix the color.

I just figured it out. I had accidentally turned half of my layers invisible.... I don't know how I managed that by pressing one key but now i'm really embarrassed. thanks for your help though

You figured out. At least it wasn't non-reversable.

Never be embarrassed... Even pro users forget things or make mistakes. It is better to ask then not too.

I had this happen , and I knew what I did just before, I had hit ctrl 5 and not ctrl T as I wanted to do, 5 being above T on keyb'd, history didnt have a step for it and also image mode still showed it as rgb !. Ctrl 2 turned it colour again.
what is Ctrl 5 for it to do this, and yet image mode is rgb, ?
what is ctrl 2 to fix it, like to know what actually happened.

Ctrl 5 = Blue grayscale channel
Ctrl 2 = RGB composite or full color

Open a new post and attach a screenshot with tabs and panels visible. This thread is getting cluttered.

Thanks to both of you, Milisaa93350435 and Gener7. Even though it was a differnt problem than yours, it was Gener7's initail response that was exactly what I needed. Accidently stroking key-commands you don't mean to can be a real bummer... Don't be embarresed, you saved my day! (:
