In color-indexed images (GIF, and some PNG), pixels colors are indexed into a 256-colors "color map". Any color you try to add to the image is shoe-horned into the closest color in the color map. A quick fix is to change the image to RGB (Image>Mode>RGB) but if you go back to indexed mode (implicit if you export as GIF...) the image is reduced to 256 colors again.

Thanks. I now set the mode to RGB but I still seem to have problems. For instance I want to add a snow layer to other layers of grass, concrete, and dirt. I open a new layer and apply white in a speckled pattern but it is not showing up really white against the other layers?
