Cannot change colour of one layer

[ekemp]

I wonder whether anyone can help.

I am trying to change the colour of the attached, but the circle in the foreground (which is cropping the tree image behind) will not change colour whichever way I select it. I'm sure I am missing something very simple, but I can't find it. Can anyone help please?

Thanks,

Emma

Thanks for your help, all sorted.

Please can you explain why so I understand where I'm going wrong?

it looks like the shape is made with the donut shape with the inside and outside stroke close together and converted to curves.

so there are only 2 stokes left.

if you set the stroke of the shape to  0.1 pt you can see the fill color.
