I am really just starting out.
I am used to a different more limited paint software package.
So doing simple stuff in Photoshop is new to me.
So, if you will, can you help me with the easy, simple, basic stuff? I have started a tutorial and it tells me to draw a solid green shape. I thought it would be easy. This is how far I got:

When I clicked on the color square it presented me with a dialog box to select a color. I tried everything I could think of but it only gives me shades of gray.
 
Make sure your image is in RGB mode. You can define this when you create a new image, or edit it in existing images (thought I don't recall what menu it's under).

Can you see the full color spectrum when you try to select a color?
 
What version of Photoshop do you have? I've worked with 8.0 and Elements 5.0

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
