    This is a strange way to use redo, and it is only necessary because the fill tool has strange behavior too.  In most software, the fill tool stays with whatever color you set it to, so you set it to some color, then for each thing you want to fill, you click the fill tool to fill it in with the selected color.  Having the fill tool change to the color of whatever object you select is senseless.

    This also represents a paradigm shift that will be unintuitive for most.  People know redo as the button you click to undo too many undos.

    But hey, Google does this all the time.  Whatever.
