      • Draw shape with pen tool - switch foreground and background color (fill now black, stroke none)

      • Change color mode from rgb til hls

      • Stroke is now black (on exactly stroke, because stroke is still active, in front)

      • Set stroke to none

      • Change color mode

      • Stroke is set here as well

      • Selecting another color mode should never actually set a color on an object

      • Switching colors between stroke and fill should probably also affect which one is in front, active

        @Ingolf Setting the color mode will select the color to the selected object, by design. The color mode is also stored with the object.

        I will think of a way to avoid setting the color mode if the object has no fill (or stroke). Or maybe make this an option (panel menu).

        About switching the color target: this could be done, but none of the other apps do this, so I'm a bit worried about the expectations of new users.

          Not a big issue for me 🙂 If you solve it I don't think you have to make it another setting. Toggling mode is not a color choosing action, so I wouldn't expect anything to happen in the color chooser when selecting another color mode.

          You are right - this is how it works in Illustrator, Affinity and others so better if you stay in sync with them. 🙂

            @Ingolf There is a Select Color Mode option in the Color panel menu, to control whether the color mode change causes the selection of the color or not.
