Out of gamut corner?

[jediguitar101@yahoo.com]

I have zero knowledge on this "out of gamut" stuff...all I know is that the pink corner won't go away. I'm picking normal colors, under normal conditions...that I've done thousands of times...and this thing is showing up now. It JUST started. I have no idea why. And when I try to fill with it...it's a charcoal color. WTF is going on?

"out of gamut" just means colours that can not be displayed or printed (edit: a 'near' colour is used) . You can stop the magenta corner showing in the color-select dialog by changing to HSV mode and the scale to 0..255 choose the H(hue) slider, click in the color space. The sliders can not go "out of gamut"

Unfortunately this old-style display is not fixed. Next time Gimp starts it returns to LCh / 0..100 mode. So get used to to it.

That sounds like the image is in Indexed mode. It will tell you top of the Gimp window. If it is then
(1) Use the indexed image colormap to select available colors: 30 second example: https://i.imgur.com/6fchiUA.mp4
or
(2) Change to RGB mode Image -> Mode -> RGB

ok...so, this is happening with an image that I wanted to mess with. It's a jpg...so I didn't expect any kind of issue. However, I see that at the top is reads..."Grayscale 8-bit gamma integer, GIMP built-in D65 Grayscale with sRGB TRC, 1 layer)...

I did as suggested...Image -> Mode /> RGB....and problem solved!

Thank you very much!
