ladylight,
It looks like a bug related to the old Color Picker bug in an earlier version where you had to select the lower rectangle to the right of the rainbow and DoubleClick to apply that to change the top rectangle and the values: the lower colour being the right one.

What happens if you set the the colour in the Color palette, in the misleadingly named Web Safe RGB?
There is no need to use the Color Picker when you know the HEX values.
