Color studio / move tool / pixel layer

[NotMyFault]

What is the purpose of color Studio while move tool is active, and a pixel layer is selected?
It shows fill and stroke color. You can choose any color, but for what purpose?
if you switch to brush, gradient fill etc, the colors will change with tool selection.

if you switch layers, the color studio still shows the color selected before, but you can’t apply it e.g. as fill to vector shapes or fill layers, without re-selecting in again from e.g. color wheel.

I'm not sure I understand the issue with allowing a user to select the colour before deciding which tool they wish to use, I do this myself if I'm honest. Disabling this would just force someone to do things a particular way which may be unintuitive.

If you switch layers from a pixel layer to a shape layer it will change your colour, but not from pixel layer to pixel layer.

Yea that is what is confusing me.

If you pre-select a color while a pixel layer is active, then by accident select a vector layer, the pre-selected color gets removed / replaced by the vector layer color. Also, you must be sure to have fill / stroke color properly selected, otherwise when choosing brush, it will use a different stroke color instead of the pre-selected fill color. These context-sensitivity depending on which tool and which layer type is active should only be allowed for under 30 year old people 👦🏼🧔🏽‍👴🏽😂

If you then select your pixel layer again, the pixel layer remembers what colour you had selected. 

Say for example you have three layers; a blue rectangle, a red rectangle and pixel layer with a green colour selected you can freely click back and forth and the colour will always change to the previously selected colour or the colour of the shape or the last pixel layer colour you had selected.

This is what I'd expect and I believe makes sense.
