"Please choose a valid color." when changing profile style

[Tonberry]

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times.
Was trying to change my profile style a bit but I got this error. I know the XenForo plugin is really wonky, I just wanted to ask if someone knows if it's the plugin being silly or if it's something on my end. Just changed a number on the existing colors I had picked.

I believe if it falls outside of the range on the provided color spread, it'll reject it?

This happened to me as well.

I'm using the built-in pallette, just shifted the bar slightly to the right, so it'd be green instead of blue.

This happened to me as well.

Did you find a solution to it?

I'm alright with the style I have now, but was a bit bummed at it not changing. Seems like an error?

No. I just gave up on ever changing my style.

Mayyybe try logging out and back in? I copied your numbers and it hasn't stopped me from adjusting them to any particular shade of blue thus far.

Tried, but still getting the same error.
Those green ones are the colors I'm trying to change to, I just changed the first value from 241 to 144.

It does the same thing when you try to make a custom profile background as well. It's busted.

Well...dammit.

JL123 might have a better answer when they're online, sorry!

Thanks for your help regardless!

Spike (I assume) sent me this on the ko-fi a while back but I forgot about it. Could it have anything to do with it? fake doesn't have a background though, just a header, so I assume this is another issue entirely.

That ones a different issue, I'm relating this secondhand but I believe the developer updated it and that field now tries to validate the URL for an image as though it were a color. Soooo busted.

(Depressing, I really enjoyed swapping out old movie posters for my profile).

Hey, when this happened to me I cleared the color (clear the field where you have selected the colour) and then applied the changes. Then I waited a bit and selected the color again, then applied the changes and it worked fine. Does that work for ya?

Didn't work, unfortunately.

Unlikely, but I wonder if the browser itself is breaking something? I'll give it a try soon.

Yes it is that.
I explained this somewhere in this forums but i don't remember where.
It's saying that this isn't a color:

It's a bug.

Let me see if I can use a beta version of this add-on, it might either fix that or kill the site.
EDIT: the beta breaks the site.

I noticed that it seems to default to whatever solid color you have set. It's got to be something to do with them being bound together like that.
