Hi, a couple of times inserted a color token, and after reloading the file, the color disappeared like this:


It’s suppose to look like this:



Is this a bug? how should i resolve this?

    Hey ​@Krystle Loh, thanks for reaching out! 

    Thanks for the clear before/after screenshots. From what you're describing, the color you applied to that linked portion of text ("Electronics Verification") isn't showing up after the file reloads.

    Figma Design doesn't automatically color linked text, creating a link only adds an underline by default. Any custom color has to be applied separately as a Fill on that text selection, the same as any other text styling (more on that in Add links to text). Since the color goes missing specifically after a reload rather than right when you apply it, that points to the Fill not saving properly, rather than anything about the link itself.

    To help narrow this down, did you apply that color using a color style or variable, or pick it straight from the color picker as a one-off Fill? That'll tell us whether this is tied to a library style or more of a general save issue.

    A couple of things worth trying in the meantime:

    1. Reselect the "Electronics Verification" text, reapply the Fill, and reload the file once more to see if it holds.
    2. Try duplicating that text layer and check whether the duplicate keeps its color after a reload. <that'll tell us if it's isolated to that one layer or happening more broadly in the file.

    If it keeps happening, it'd help to have our customer support team take a look at the file directly. Feel free to open a ticket through the Support Hub, and you'll be able to attach the file there.

    Let me know what you find on the Fill type, and we'll go from there!

    Hi, thanks for getting back. I tried both you suggested. 
     

    1. Reselect the "Electronics Verification" text, reapply the Fill, and reload the file once more to see if it holds. When i applied on the same session, it works, but as soon as i reload, it disappears
    2. Try duplicating that text layer and check whether the duplicate keeps its color after a reload. <that'll tell us if it's isolated to that one layer or happening more broadly in the file. Still did not work after duplicating
