Somehow, the color wheel on the project we are working on is messed up. How can I reset it to the standard colors?

You're on the "Palette" tab. Show us the Wheel tab! Or is it the Palette that's messed up? The purple square in the green row?

I've never seen the problem. Restart Designer?

Tip: tag your question as Vision or Perspective.

Try importing this:

It's all messed up. Importing that default color palette didn't work, either. I tried to restart my designer. I think maybe I'll restart the gateway.

Perhaps delete the cache and get a fresh copy from the gateway.

I restarted the Ignition Service and that did not fix it.

Deleting the cache folder will force a fresh copy from the gateway.

On Windows:  
C:\Users\_username_\.ignition\cache

I deleted the .ignition folder on my computer and the colors are fixed. Thank you @JordanCClark
