Change tool - active colour stays the same

[deebz]

Currently the selected colour changes on a tool by tool basis.

For example I choose a blue while I’m using a paintbrush but I switch to the fill tool and the colour changes to orange, which was the last colour I used to flood fill a layer 3 documents ago.

I don’t personally understand the logic of making the active colour tool driven, rather than context driven.

Mask layers are a case in point. The context of working in a mask or on an adjustment layer is that you are working in black, white or grey, yet the active tool and whatever colour you selected dictates the colour in this context.

I appreciate I might be missing the grand plan here, but surely I’m not alone?
