Okay, thanks for the help! First off, my bad. I am having some growing pains moving from adobe and procreate, and was frustrated that I was spinning my tires last night when all I wanted to do was PAINT!!! There are a lot of fine brushes in Affinity Photo, I didn't see the proper way to access them, so I went about trying to create my own. At least I learned some stuff along the way. @NotMyFault: I realize that the tutorial I posted is DESIGNER, I believe that all of the brushes you create are usable in all of the AFFINITY programs? Thanks for helping! @iconclast: Thanks, I looked up how to make Texturized Intensity Brushes and it looks easy enough, will try later. If there is a definitive tutorial for creating brushes and brush sets, that would be a great thing to share here, I think, to help future help seekers. I'll return and share if I find one.

SOLUTION (Its not a good one) The answer can be found near the end of this video. Custom brushes seem to be un-colorable. Great... I mean, I want to ditch adobe, but, come on. Affinity comes with NO BRUSHES, and custom brushes are, uh, unusable? It seems you can use an adjustment layer if you want to.

So, the problem may be that this is a Custom Brush I have created. Is there a reason customer brushes cannot paint with color?

Ive spent 30 minutes trying to do what should take two seconds. I have the Paint Brush Tool selected. I have a document set to RGB (There is color in a layer already) I have a color selected in my Color Palette BUT I can only paint in grey scale. There had better be a very simple NO NONSENSE solution for this.
