    Update: Updating the NVIDIA Studio drivers did NOT solve the issue.

    Hi ​@Christiaan1 

    Thanks for stopping by the Premiere forums and reporting about this Color Mode issue, plus including that helpful screenshot. 

    Does the error appear as soon as you open Color Mode, or after selecting or changing a particular control or preset? If you can, please share a short screen recording showing the steps just before it appears as that might be helpful to engineers.

    As a temporary test, could you turn off GPU-accelerated UI rendering in Preferences > General, reopen Color Mode, and let us know whether the error still occurs? Please re-enable it after testing. This will help us narrow down where the issue might be related.

    I did also note you’re using RTX3080 11GB with 128GB computer memory. Is this Windows 11, yes? It might also be helpful if you can list the Premiere build you’re using with v27, and you can check this by going to Help > About Premiere. 

    We’ll start there and let us know those additional details and we’ll troubleshoot from that point.
    Sorry for this issue, and we do hope to help!
    Katie

    I have saved the (crash) report. Can I share this to a private address?
