Color Not Staying To What I Select

I've tried changing the color of my text but it's not staying on what I select after I click ok. It will change to black or white but if I select any other color it defaults to close to the middle of the color picker. I made a video showing what is happening. I'm trying to select a color in the top right corner but it defaults to the middle after I click ok, https://www.screencast.com/t/YCad6GmTHlEj . How do I fix this?

It looks like you are in a CMYK color space and are trying to pick a colour that is out of gamut (i.e. outside the range of available colours in that mode).

If, whilst you have the colour picker open, you press Shift + Ctrl+ Y (Windows) or go to menu View and tick gamut warning then color picker will grey out those unavailable colors

Ok thanks. How do I get out of this CMYK color space because I need to use a color in the top right color? I'm not sure how that happened as I've never changed a setting
