Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion. I’m open to any changes or proposals that might help improve this project, so I’ll gladly accept them!

The Pencil appears to put down the foreground color, the Eraser appears to clear to the background color.

Working at the pixel level, it is extremely useful to be able to "toggle" a pixel without switching tools. MacPaint (for example) would use the foreground color if you click on a pixel whose color is not the foreground color. If you start your Pencil drawing (click) on a pixel that is the foreground color, the Pencil draws with the background color instead.

Also, a modifier (like the Option key), is a nice way to also specify the background color for the pencil (regardless of the initial pixel clicked on).
