Thank you!
You need to use the bucket fill tool.
BUT ➤ it mandatory to adjust things in the Tool Options
you have to select Fill by line art detection and adjust other settings like Fill transparent area if your grid is on a transparent layers,
Select if the grid is above the current layer, the layer itself, etc...
Also you have to do some tests with the last 3 sliders (growing/detection threshold/ max gap) to fine tune the "line art" detection and the growing over the grid or not.
Once you're set, it's piece of cake
Last but not least you can let the window Change Foreground Color open, while changing color, it will apply live, so no need to hit the button OK, and then re-open that window, just change the color ➤ bucket fill ➤ change the color ➤ bucket fill, and so on
