What operating system are you using? I open a color image with GIMP 2.8.20 on an iMac running OS Sierra (10.12.3) and when I check the Channels dialog, there are the three channels in greyscale: Red, Green and Blue. An individual channel should show as greyscale, since it’s giving brightness information about that color. To the left of the Channels tab is the Layers tab. I click on that and I’m back at the Layers dialog with color thumbnail.
