This is the round circle in the top right of your toolbar. This houses all of your color palettes and color settings.

2. Select the color you want

You can use your color disc to choose your fill color. Or you can choose from your already made color palettes. Up to you. Make sure the color you want is inside the circle at the top right of your screen (that’s how you know you’ve selected it).
