Reason clip color

Hello,
I have always problems to choose the right clip color, because the colors in the drop down menu are different from the real clip colors in the Sequencer.
You can see it also on the jpg in my Attachment.
Maybe this is a special thing on my PC or do you have this also in your Reason ?
Im on Reason 10 and Windows 7 64bit

Maybe that's a Windows 7 problem. I'm on WIndows 8.1 and the colors from the colorchooser menue match the clip colors.
Another problem is that on dark colors the text is always printed in black too and so it is difficult to read. It should be white on dark colors like in other DAWs. The same goes for white lines on bright colors.

Been there as well, some of the colours are so close when looking at the drop down that I have to re-select every now and then as I have chosen the wrong one (even if it looked right).

Are you on windows 7 ? What kind of system do you use ?

I had a similar problem. It's most likely because you're using a non-default/custom windows theme.

I'm on Windows 7 too and don't have this issue. For example, Bright Lime looks the same from the color selection and the color itself when used.
I was a huge Windows classic theme fan as well until I used Bitwig for a while and had to use Aero. Try it!

Huh, yes you are right ! That solves the problem....I change to the normal standard aero theme (I was on old windows classic non aero theme)
All colors are right now.
Thanks for help all.
