Illustrator Gradient Grayscale

Question

I have searched and searched the internet for an hour. My file (and every subsequent file I tried) will not lot me change colors from black and white in the gradient options box. When I click the gradient circle I can change the color, the option is set to CMYK and not Grayscale. However, when I click off the circle in the gradient options turned back to white and black. It won't even change if I click on a preset gradient color. I even tried just adding new gradient circles in a color but, again, when I click off te circle the new one I added dissapears. Please help!!

Thank you for your answer. It was a problem with the program. Ilustrator eventually crashed on me and when it restarted everything worked as it should. Next time, my first step will be to close the program and restart. This has never happened to me before. I've been using Illustrator on a mac for 20 years! I thought it was some kind of change with the new update at first.

Please review Create gradients in Illustrator (adobe.com)

May be you will be able to find what are you doing wrong. Remember if you are switching between two different modes of gradient it turn to black and white. For continuing work on your recent gradients that is created in Freeform mode just click on Edit gradient button. Otherwise you will get grayscale gradient.
