This is only available in paid plans. You could see the option on the tool selection panel at the bottom. When you clicked colour circles it will open up a new window to select a wide range of different colours. Alternatively, you can select the background colour clicking the appropriate button instead of clicking on the colour circles. Again in-depth clour selection is only available to paid memberships.

Question on: ZBrush
Is there a way to have a 3D sculpt that has been converted to an image file?This is a frustrating issue that can be avoided but cost me thirty minutes trying to remedy when it first happened. I ended up having to start over.

Hey Shariece,
Thanks for the question.
I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out what your question is asking, I'm going to assume this is the issue: Sometimes when working in Zbrush, you can "drop" the 3D sculpt into the canvas, this basically makes it look like the sculpt is now a 2D picture, that you can not edit. One way around this is to press Ctrl+N to clear the canvas, then make sure you are in edit mode (press T or the edit button). You can also redraw out the 3D object onto the canvas by clicking and dragging onto the canvas. There is also a button in the tool Palette called: Make polymesh3D, which should help as well.
I'm sorry if this was not the question you were asking, but If you could be a bit more specific, I would be glad to help you out! Be well!
