Selecting foreground and background colors
The toolbox displays a foreground color and a background color in two overlapping color boxes. Photoshop Elements uses the foreground color to paint, fill, and trace selections and shapes, and it uses the background color to create fills, such as gradient fills and fills in erased areas of the image background. The foreground and background colors are also used by some special effects filters.

You can change the foreground or background color by using the eyedropper tool, the Swatches palette, the icons in the toolbox, or the Adobe Color Picker.
