I’m working at a project on Ignition **8.1.3 (b2021030309)** (but the same issue occured in 8.0.16 too).  
My root container background is set to 250,250,251 as default value. Sometimes all of a sudden the background color changes to 130,138,140 unexpectedly, just while editing the project in the designer.

Any idea?

Thanks, regards
