I can go to e.g.
Tools > Options... > General > Fonts and Colors > Item > Search Edit
and click any of the 3 oblong boxes to get to the Color palette feature provided by Windows - and in there click the Add to customs colors button and OK it. The I can go to e.g.
Tools > Options... > Advanced > findbar_focus_background_dark_color
and get access to the same customized palette through once again Colors of Windows. But if close Everything, re-open it and through any way in it get to the Colors system feature, then I will get a blank palette [i.e. with 18 white squares]
And so if a user wants to come up with a theme that has consistent shades then user is forced to do this one session - or alternatively to waste time on recreating the palette once used. This is both counterproductive and annoying
Maybe this bug could be taken care of along with switching to the newer version of Colors: viewtopic.php?t=11938?
And also maybe this will shed some light on this issue:
The #1 point in the initial post of this topic https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12884 reports similar problems with that Colors feature in FreeCommander. So maybe this would point to this Colors being the culprit and not Everything [and FreeCommander] handling of it? Maybe it was stupidly designed by Microsoft for usage for just one feature per program - hence the glitches?
I am using Everything 1.5.0.1352a x64 Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64

Re: Fonts And Colors do not remember colors chosen for palette [BUG]
The next alpha update will remember your custom colors between sessions.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Everything uses the stock system color picker. (ChooseColor)
Everything will show the same color picker dialog as you see in mspaint.

Everything 1.5.0.1353a will now remember the stock Windows color picker colors between sessions.
These colors are stored in your custom_colors ini setting.
