P: Label colours appear to have inverted in Premiere Pro

I have opened Premiere Pro today to find all the label colours in my timeline appear to be inverted. The lighter colour is now the main body of the clip and the darker colour is now the waveform. I have tried to go through all the different label group styles. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application. Does anyone know how to get this back to the default colours. 

 

I have attached an image of what it should look like and what it looks like now.

Yea, there's new color stuff available now. And it's puzzling at first.

 

Go to Preferences/Labels, choose the Classic option lower right.

 

You still may need to adjust the hue/sat/brightness to taste, just click the color box in that dialog and make changes in the color picker. You do now have a lot of ability to mod that to taste.

 

To get the green audio back, that's now on the 3-bar menu in the Timeline panel sequence tabs, separating audio and video track color.

HI everyone -

This is not actually a bug. It is the intended behavior when your label colors are brighter than a certain amount. When that is the case, we will make the waveform darker than the background instead of lighter. Most of the label colors in the "Classic" or "Vibrant" are bright enough to trigger this appearance. The "Default" ones are not. So if you don't like the look, the solution is to choose one of the more muted themes or to manually adjust your label colors to a darker color.

Thanks for the clarification Mike. My problem is since I have dyslexia, the current default preset gives me visual stress syndrome. It has too high contrast between the timeline and waveform. People with dyslexia comprehend/read faster when color pairs have lower contrasts. I tried swapping to the "classic" look but then just got visually confused by the look of the audio transition. I don't have a very big monitor so I need small effects like transitions to pop so I can see them, and the previous version did that by being yellow. It was too uncomfortable for me so I just rolled back 24.3, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to edit anything.

I would be interested if you try out the latest 25.5 beta, which has the new UI reskin for Pr, with a bunch of color changes. This may help with the issues you are experiencing. It has a specific low-contrast mode. We'd like to know how this works for you:

Updated to Premiere 24.4 and ALL of the defualt colors that I am using on a show to label interviews, scenes, b roll, titles etc are all different colors.  I understand there is a new color labeling update, however "Yellow" is brown... Violet is brown, tan is brown, green is a swampy mucus color, cerulean is a dark blue.  Just very bizzare.  I reverted back to 24.3 and all the color labels did not revert back to their original color sadly...

My app updated automatically to 24.4.0 and all of my labels are now different colors. They are much darker and harder to see, and not even close to the original colors. I found in preferences where I can change the color scheme to 'classic' but they still aren't the correct colors. This is so frustrating! I could easily find clips based on their color label before and now I'm wasting time trying to figure out which new colors correspond with the old ones.

 

Adobe why would you do this! Please give us the option to keep the old colors!

Latest release of Premiere Pro, new features summary

 

Either revert to previous version or learn to accept.

The old colors won't be coming back.

You can make your own color scheme based on the old colors.

Assuming you are on 24.4 (did not mention Pr version and build!)

The new update 24.4 has a whole new and different label color feature.

You can set this in the Preferences under Label.

yes I am using 24.4. I understand that they updated their color labels but the default is still incorrect and different to my coworkers interfaces. I uninstalled this application and opened up the old version of Premiere to see if that would work but it still showed as these weird inverted colors. I am wondering now if it is a workspace setting rather than it having anything to do with the label setting themselves.

BTW my timeline looks the same as yours regarding the label colors (and so called inverted).

The 24.4 update has changed my timeline colour to a highlighted version that is really hard to work with. Can I change this back to the original look that I had yesterday?

I have a solution: Edit/Preferences/labels - then change the colour back to classic. 🙂
