I am assuming you are asking me for an answer to the question you have. I believe you can use the color picker tool on the same toolbar as the paintbrush; to get a specific color on the image you are making.

Also, if you click on the color your paintrbursh is currently using (a small box with another box behind it in the center of the toolbar) it should bring up a window that lets you choose the colors you want.

The default colors when opening gimp selected are white and black I believe. You normally don't have to worry about the color behind your primary color though, since that's a background color for ppl who switch back and forth.
