Ever since Pixelmator Coral, I have not understood how the "dual color swatches" feature is supported to work. Half the time I open a document and change the brush color swatch to change the brush color. And the other half of the time, this does not do anything, and I must change the selected color in the "dual color swatches" to change the brush color.

Can you please add an option to disable this new feature? I don't like using 2 colors anyway.

While you can physically remove the color well from the toolbar (Control-click the toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar), it shouldn't really affect your ability to pick colors for brushes even when it's visible in the toolbar. Whatever color you choose for the Paint tool in the Tool Options pane should automatically sync to the color well in the toolbar and vice versa. So the issue most likely lies elsewhere. If you reproduce it, it would be great if you could record it and share it with us at support@pixelmator.com. We'll take it from there.

Ok yeah. They are definitely out of sync sometimes.
