Hex Codes Not Functioning

I was working in a document, am trying to learn Illustrator better, as I primarily use AE/Premiere. Hex codes were working fine, and now for whatever reason they have stopped working. I am working in RGB color space, and when I type in the code, it isn't validating even if I TAB or ENTER. It just reverts to the existing color. Am trying to apply with fonts.

 

Any insight would be wonderful.

Maybe a reset of your preferences will help:

Can you use the color panel?

And also what do you mean that it's not validating?

 

Please do also check the appearance panel.

By not validating, I mean, that when I input into the hex field, I am not seeing the color picker switch at all. Usually, it would adjust it's color as I input each alphanumeric character. If I tab out of the field, the color just stays the same. The color panel also will not work for hex codes in this instance.

So your File > Document Color Mode is RGB color?

Yes. The Hex Codes worked fine on first 3 text layers, and will not work for the last 4. I restarted a new document from scratch and the same thing happens. It works fine for the first 3, but then stops after that.

Could it have something to do with color libraries?
