You should still understand how things work.

All depends on the format of the image you paste **into**.

Paste (or open-as-layers is the same) a RGB image into a greyscale image and the
pasted in layer takes the properties of the greyscale image.

Often seen in the worst senario, a RGB image added to a limited colour, indexed
image and the user wonders why the colours are screwed up.

Thanks, but somehow, it's sorted itself out. I've done it like this before, with
no problems, so I don't know what the problem was. Closed Gimp down, and started
again, and it was fine. Confused.

1. You should use .xcf for your gimp workflow, and import/export to different
formats at the final stages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCF_(file_format)

2. Can you upload / E-mail the problematic files?

I created a png file, so the background is transparent. I then opened another
file, a jpg, to paste the png onto it. The problem is, it's in greyscale, when
the original is in colour. What's happened, and how do I solve it.
