This new feature disrupts my usual workflow of clicking outside the hex color value box to change the color. As a result, I often end up selecting a color from the list unintentionally.
I called this feature “Annoying color style dropdown I didn’t ask for”.
Same here—it feels like they might be running some kind of A/B test. It’s pretty frustrating, and I’ve also run into bugs with the new dropdown that stop me from changing colors in the design.
Yes, and the color menu isn't working as intended. It seems to be a bug.
When a color is chosen, it doesn’t apply to the selected object. It seems to work randomly.
I downgraded to version 126.2.9, and now everything works as expected again.

Thanks for the video, and like, where are those color styles even coming from? I don’t need it, and I don’t want it. LOL
BTW, how do you downgrade? I don’t know if you can do that.

The colors come from color variables in the same file. In this older version, the color pop-up menu still looks like the standard color drop-down menu, not a simplified, alphabetically sorted list of color variables. IMHO, this is a poor user experience that makes selecting colors efficiently nearly impossible.

Hey
Thanks for flagging this, and for your patience while we got it sorted!

Please take a look at the video I’ve attached here.
If I click from Fill, it shows up at the bottom or top. But if I click from Selection Colors, it shows up on the side, which I prefer. Please make it on the side, thank you.

You’re right, I forgot that I have color variables from an iOS Library. Thanks.
Due to our token naming system, attempting to collapse this list into a “simpler” searchable dropdown has actually made my life more difficult in that now the full variable name is listed, making the options here very repetitive (and truncating the end of the variable name — which is actually the part I need to identify the correct color)
I much prefer the former color picker, which reduces this repetition in naming and allows me to see the full variable name.
