    paintbrush and paint bucket use wrong color in PE6 for Mac

      Hi.  I am trying to use either the paintbrush or paint bucket tool to add a solid color in a layer.  I choose a foreground color and apply the tool and instead of using the color I've chosen, it uses an old color I used several photos ago.  (I chose the old color with the eyedropper tool in case that matters).  No matter what I do, it seems that this old color is stuck in both the paintbrush and paint bucket.  I've tried choosing a different color with the eyedropper, and although that color appears as the foreground color, the old "bad" color still applies when I use either the paintbrush or bucket tool.  I have reset the tools (no luck), rebooted photoshop (no luck), tried switching back to the default (B&W) colors (still no luck).  Does anyone have any suggestion what I can try?  I'm new to the forum and have tried searching for this issue, but can't find it.  I apologize if this is an old issue.  Thank you for your help.
