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 )
