Try a right click on the menu bar. There you should see a "Colors..." checkbox.
Check it.
However only in a very old version of kolourpaint it was possible to hide this colors dock window.
What version of kolourpaint are you using ?
Comment 4 Robert Adolle 2021-05-12 21:38:09 UTC
My version is 20.12.2

The right click give nothing. The checkbox "Colors" don't help.

Thank you very much !

right click "gives nothing" means you do not get ANY popup ?
If you get nothing, then you clicked on the wrong spot.
Click on the empty area right of the last menu "Help" in english.
You should get a popup!
But since you have 20.12.2 the "Colors" entry in this popup should be greyed out, since as I said, since some versions one should no longer be able to hide it.

What you could try is to remove any possibly old stored kolourpaint settings.
Stop kolourpaint, remove the file ~/.config/kolourpaintrc
Start kolourpaint and hopefully you now have the pristine state including the colors.
