I’ve noticed this issue for over a year, but it’s particularly bad now so I’m reporting it. 

Issue: If I try to use the color picker tool (either with the control+C hot key or manually by selecting the fill color, then clicking the color picker icon), then I do something else in Figma like type in a couple text boxes, then try to use the color picker again, it doesn’t work. Clicking it does nothing. 

Worth noting that it does seem to work if I use the color picker multiple times in a row without doing else in between. 

Things I tried: breaking components, using hot keys and doing it manually, updating Figma, restarting the app. No luck. 

My interim solution has been to refresh the figma page. But I need to refresh it literally every time I want to use the color picker, which is super tedious. (I’m creating a huge color sheet, I’ve refreshed my page literally 20 times). 

Context: 

  • I’m on a Mac, running macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 
  • Using the Figma desktop app. Figma Desktop App version 124.7.4

Hey ​@Carolina McGarity, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble! 

This was a bug a while back. May I ask what color profile you’re using?
And if you’re using P3, may I suggest trying to use sRGB instead to see if that helps at all.
