Colours are different in 2021.6
Does anyone else, like me, have their channel strip fully coloured? I can't stand it being grey and I have a very strict colour system that allows to me navigate my mixes easily.
2021.6 is very different and the subtleties between the colours seem to have gone. Can anyone else confirm this and/or is irked by it? What say you Avid? Can we go back to how it was?

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
When you say system based, does it mean that they are stored with the Pro Tools Preferences File, or somewhere else?

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
Windows 10 Pro here and I confirm the difference with track colors on new PT2021.6.
I am not able to have the same color setting as before and there are less colors availability on the track header. This could be quite confusing when mixing with a lot of tracks.

"there are less colors availability on the track header"
This isn't true. The grid of colours is the same size as previous versions. Just the shade/saturation is slightly different

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
i can corroborate this issue. see attached screen shot. at the bottom of the mix window you can see that the left side tracks are a different shade of red compared to the right side tracks. but the background color of all of the tracks looks the same. definitely a change from previous PT versions before 2021.6. as Kyle said, i gather this due to the mapping of the old color palette to the new.

They are saved in the Pro Tools Presets > Color Palette folder.

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
Question then: if I delete the PT Prefs file (as I do at times), will I lose the color settings? And if so, can I retrieve them after deleting Prefs by importing from the Color Palette folder?

Re: 2021.6 Colours are different
Trashing prefs will default colors. Best to actually save your settings(not just assign to one of the preset buttons).
