Color Issues In Illustrator

I've been using my blob brush to just color and my color panel switches to grayscale for no reason. Then when I switch from one color to the next when using the blob brush, it defaults to the last color I used. Why is this happening?

Hi alesiab59791674

You may try resetting illustrator preferences and check if that helps.

1. Close Illustrator

2. Reset preferences by renaming Adobe Illustrator folders.

Windows:

C:\Users\nikhilgu\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

Rename Adobe Illustrator folders to old Adobe Illustrator.

Hidden Appdata folder:

Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions in Windows 10 and earlier

MAC:

/User Library/Application support/Adobe

/User Library/Preferences/Adobe

Rename Adobe Illustrator folders to old Adobe Illustrator.

Access hidden Mac OS library files

3. Launch the application and check.

Thanks,

Nikhil Gupta

It must be something I am missing. I'm new to illustrator. I did what you said and then opened a new doc to trace. Started to trace over the template and using the blob brush instead of the pencil, I chose the black color. The moment I started to draw, it defaulted to white. I have no clue what's going on. My file names are good and I made the hidden files seen.
