Make sure that you're working in color (either RGB or CMYK). Go to Image>Mode>RGB (or CMYK instead of RGB, or the color working space of your choice.

When you're making new canvas, towards the bottom you'll see an option "Mode" with a drop down menu-->be sure that it's not "grayscale", but rather one of the color options.
