No Color Wheel - Only DRAB color squares

[Squeaker5353]

I played through the Halloween job. Went back to sandbox to finish build and I can no longer choose color tabs. The only color page available is the DRAB tab. I see no color wheel to customize a color. There is an Elixir TAB but it does nothing to create a new color, only defaults back to DRAB colors. If I'm missing something, please let me know. I've played this game since inception and this is the first time I'm stumped. Make fun of me, please! I just want my colors back.

Same at least for surfaces, objects are fine. I also found one surface that only had the pure tab. Did you figure out how to use that Elixir - seems to be a new semi-transparent material. Also have not figured out how to use the new customize color in sandbox (it is great in story but I play sandbox mostly)

I play Sandbox 95% of the time. Elixir baffles me. I have no idea how I'm going to get the bright colors I need for my current project, Bolivian Architecture. I have about 75% to go. This project is all about vibrant colors... I did notice items had more tabs, but floors and walls, not so.

I figured out how the palette bug is working - I'm sure they will fix it soon but I did figure out a work around.

What is happening is that when you decorate an object if you use the faded l page it sticks in the memory in sandbox some how and when you go to surface you see the faded choices only

If you decorate and object like a plant - your next surface choice will only offer you the plants color palette - it's stuck.

My Temp work around:
1. I built a board object (I'll delete it later) chose matte plastic as the material then selected one of the flower patterns for the color then selected color for the pattern and it shows the long scroll of all the 4 old palettes.
2. Select surface tool and select material of choice - I used plaster
3. Select color and you should now have the full long scroll from the board.

Any time your pallet shows up wrong go back to your board and choose edit
and it should reset it to the long list

This should let you work around the bug until they get a fix to us

YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! Thanks so much! I saw random colors showing up sometimes, but had no idea how. I was trying to use keyboard in case there was a shortcut to cycle through the colors. LOL! If you haven't already, you should post this info in the HF2 Guide section and Bugs Discussion.
