I haven’t figured out when and why it happens sometimes,
but when adding new project colours, or deleting… all the already set project colours shift in the project even though you haven’t made any changes.
pretty darn annoying when you have 1000 tracks…
In this example, I only changed a few Bass Guitar purple colours, yet a bunch of the project colours shifted/changed.

After
I think it only happens maybe when ‘Insert Colour’ and or ‘Delete’ is used. So now I am using ‘Duplicate’ only.
I don’t have a way around this, sorry about that. But what’s happening is the coloring is actually based on the color’s position in the list of colors. When you add or remove Colors from the middle of the list it changes all the colors after it in the list. The only way I know around this is to only add or remove colors from the end of the list. Which in practice means you can’t readily remove them.
For example if you have blue as the 10th color in the list and red the 11th. Then if you insert a new color in the list at spot 5, everything after it will slide down 1 spot so blue becomes 11 and red becomes 12. And everything you had previously colored red will become blue.
It seems to not be a problem as much when duplicating…
You’d think they’d have made an ID system in the background, instead of position.
Especially since they already use the Color’s Name to ID them in the PLE.
I believe it only happens when using Insert, Delete, or Drag Reposition.
For some reason Duplicate doesn’t cause the same problem.
