The window to the right should show the path to the GIMP brushes folder. Use the folder that is ticked as being writable in 'Application Support' and not the other one as I read somewhere that it should be left untouched. You then have to Refresh your brushes in the toolbar.

Only the previews are in black and white (unless the brush is specifically designed to be B&W). You can change your background/foreground colors to use the brushes in color.

That's where I found my GIMP folder + brushes. In explorer - it's under the Desktop icon. Hope this helps!
