That is the way Gimp works by default.   Most tool options are retained for the next session. Great for experienced users but often leads to the very-frequent "why have my tool options disappeared" question from the beginner

This just for general palette usage.
You can open the palette editor from the palette dock or by double-click on a palette.
A click on a colour in the editor sets the FG swatch (under the tools)
A ctrl-click on a colour sets the BG swatch

In the Color Exchange Dialogue a right-click in either From Color or To Color gives options for FG  / BG / black / white

...and a 30 second demo of that https://i.imgur.com/L61zoEd.mp4

I do realise it all depends on images and workflow, just for info.
