Simple custom stroke in Illustrator will not change color

Question

I have tried everything to get my stroke to change color in Illustrator. For some reason it is fixed on black, and I cant change it. I have never had this problem before. I have searched to find the solution but I cant find it. I created a simple stroke with the pen tool and added it to my brushes and never had this issue. Can anyone help me fix this?

You can either double click on the stroke (cirled in red), or click on a swatch. On new art you draw shodul naot have any problem.

If you are picking up exisitng art you could for example have a stroke color set to the layer in appearance

If you need more help please post a screenshot, as I can ony help if you can show me where you are at, and not feasable to guess at 100s of possibilities.
