Why my color variants start acting crazy

Hi ​@anna_cognyx, thanks for flagging this! 

I understand the frustration. The pattern you're describing usually points to a leftover override on the nested text layer that isn't updating when the badge's variant changes. Two things worth trying:

1. Right-click the badge instance → Reset all changes, then re-apply the variant property. Order matters here; resetting first, then setting the variant, tends to stick better than the reverse.
2. If the text color still won't budge, select just the nested text layer inside the badge and reset that layer on its own before touching the parent.

A few questions so we can investigate this further:

• Is the badge's color coming from a variable/mode, or set directly on the layers?
• Is the badge component nested inside another component or a slot?
• Did the pink appear right after a library update or a mode switch?

Let us know, and we’ll continue troubleshooting this together.
