Did you click on Paint Can tool in the toolbox? If so, you could fill color in the selection by click inside of the selection. Clicking outside of the selection won't allow you to fill in color.

Your color range may be too heavily softened/feathered. Or, you aren't filling properly? Try going up to the edit menu and selecting fill, and doing it that way.

im selecting a color range, and then "option-deleting" the to get the foreground color. Should i not be doing it this way? Sorry if this seems real newbie to you guys.

Just to make my problem a little clearer:

The selection is filling with color, but it leaves an outline of the previous color of my color selection on the edges, where the dashed line of the selection was.

ahh gotcha. Well selecting by color isn't the most accurate tool in the world. is this a photo or flat art? if its flat like a vector, use the magic wand with a mid range tolerance level. no matter what you are gonna have to clean up the edge 'by hand' unless you feather it or something.
