Erase the "colorrc" file in your Gimp profile.

Did you read the link? https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/GIMPProfile/
Do you read all your other posts? Not difficult.
For Windows delete C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\colorrc

Does OSX not have a search tool that you can use?
Looks like you read the reference https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/GIMPProfile/ where it says that the Gimp Profile might be:
/Users/{your_id}/Library/GIMP/2.8/
or possibly
/Users/{your_id}/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/
(depending on the GIMP build you use).
One way of determining is look at Edit -> Preferences -> Folders just use the first one for brushes.
Now the part before the brushes is your Gimp profile.
This is what it looks like in linux. Not the same in OSX but the principle is the same. edit: Can you post a screen shot like this for your installation?

You do not delete the file from Gimp. Before opening Gimp, use your file browser, identify the file and delete it.
Any Mac users out there who can help beginners?
edit: Top of the google list for locating files in a Mac
1. Press Command-Space to open Spotlight.
2. Enter the name of the file you are looking for.
3. The results appear in the list below.
4. Hold down the Command key to view the path directory.

Not as confused as I am.
Please:
Open Gimp
Use Edit -> Preferences -> Folders
Select the first folder Brushes
Take a screenshot and post it here.

No. You open your file manager, find the file
/Users/xxxxxxx/library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/colorrc
and delete it
where xxxxxxx is the name you blanked out
Then you open Gimp as normal.
