I've been struggling like you'll never believe using the change foreground colour option to the left of the screen. The problem I have and I have many on Gimp is that I'm a bit colour blind, so this is brilliant.
Anyway thanks for getting me out of trouble again...

If you don't have such a plug-in you can do Select > To Path to create a path. The path is not as good as using a plug-in, but is better than stroking a selection.
(There is Arkane Shape Creator, but it doesn't work with my 2.10. I have a smaller, simpler one that is good for most things)
Colour code charts are not Gimp specific. You can find many on the internet if you google.
Just had a look at http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/ for the ellipse plug-in cant quite work out which one I'm supposed to download. Im using 2.10 myself.
Maybe I should download the whole lot...
The one you would want is ofn-path-to-shape (I have found a use for almost all of them, but I use paths a lot)--and be sure to read the documentation inside the .zip file: I have put in a folder for easy reference. Unfortunately, this plugin deals with circles and regular poligons/stars--ellipses as such are missing. For 2.8, there is arakne shape creator 8, which works from selections instead of auxiliary paths: but it doesn't even load on my 2.10. I am not acquainted with the 'classic .scm script' mentioned in another reply--it may be easier to use.
