Summary
New Layer Defaults aim to group all settings that influence a new Layer that can be created from the New Layer menu entry or using a tool.
Some defaults settings can be set from the Toolbox. Others defaults settings are set by tools from the Tool Options Panel or from the Canvas Window.
Brush Colors
In addition to these two controls, there are two smaller controls located in the corners between them.
The arrows on the upper-right side swap the outline and fill colors. 
The two little squares on the lower left reverts the outline and fill colors to their default of black and white respectively.
Brush Size
- If you are using the Draw Tool, this sets the maximum size that the line will be based on pressure sensitivity (on graphic tablet).
- Adjust the size of the Brush Tool
The size of Outline Layers's line is set in the Tool Options Panel
Default Blend Method
The Blend Method is set from the Tool Options Panel. It's a by tool preference.
Default Opacity
Sets the Amount for new layers. Defaults to 1.00 (Completely opaque)
The Opacity is set from the Tool Options Panel. It's a by tool preference.
Current Gradient
Used by the Spline Tool when creating a new Curve Gradient layer. Also used by all Gradient layers as their fill. This defaults to a gradient between the "Outline Color" (previously foreground color) and "Fill Color" (previously background color). Clicking this will bring up the Gradient Editor Dialog
Default Interpolation
Sets the default interpolation of new waypoints. Initially this is set to Clamped.
The Default Interpolation is set into the Canvas Window
