Red=Grey?

[Lt.LowSelfEsteem]

So I've been working on this picture, but I've run into a roadblock.

   

I want to make this black bat red. So I use the fuzzy select tool ad highlight the bat. 

   

I select my desired shade of red and click on the bucket tool, all is going according to plan.

   

So I click on the bat with my bucket selected and...

   

What? This isn't just exclusive to red, with green it turns to a lighter grey and with yellow it turns white. What am I missing so that I can make the bat the color I've actually selected?

Best guess.

Your image is in either grayscale mode or indexed mode that only contains grey colours.

Check in Gimp menu Image -> Mode and if not RGB enable RGB

Worked perfectly, thank you.
