Can't change color (stroke/fill) in Illustrator

[Zuzana34728593zw9v]

I've created a path in Illustrator and now I want to change the color of the stroke (or fill, it doesn't work on both), but when I chose the new color nothing happens. Edit: strangely, it changes the stroke color but under the previous color (dont know what to think about that)

The stroke or fill could be on the layer. Please try this: https://youtu.be/YZooJyG2UT4
