The default background is a neutral grey gradient, of 200px X 200px

A preview icon is composed of 3 main blocks :

The brush preview feature a mini representation of the stroke. This stroke is colored with those color codes :

Black is "normal"
White is "erase" ( note : Checker pattern representing alpha too )
Dark blue is color-smudge smearing mode ( note : little gradient in the stroke to a warmer color can helps )
Purple is color-smudge dulling mode ( note : little gradient in the stroke to a warmer color can helps )
light-blue for smudge-only
... FX presets can use distinct colors according to the fx-related resulting color

Note : The stroke can be exaggerated to boost the particular aspect of a brush.
