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.
First, I want to thank you all again for your feedback and comments. We are actively listening and working to address the issues you've raised. I'd like to provide an overview of some of the concerns we've heard so far, to clarify what constitutes a bug and what does not.
Color Text Labels Inverted: Indeed, we've encountered a bug regarding the inversion of color text labels in this latest release. Our team is working diligently to address this issue promptly. In past releases, when a user picke

The draggable audio fade handles look way too much like cuts, and they are also now much more difficult to grab and drag. I have a very diffcult time getting the icon to change so i can drag their length. Whoever thought this was bettter than how they worked and looked previously needs to reconsider their opinion.

There weren't audio fade handles in PrPro before, only Audition.

Yes, there were. If you hovered your mouse over the end of the audio fade, your cursor would turn into the red bracket and you could drag it.

Without first applying an audio transition? I don't think so ...

Moving the goal post to defend Adobe I see. Okay.

Moving what goalpost?
The audio crossfades as a built-in thing is new. Wasn't there before, was my point. I don't see how that's "moving the goal post to defend Adobe" ... and please, people who waste emotions on Corporations are to me ... well, nuts.
The crossfades are a new thing, and LOVED by many. But they also have an issue for many users that it makes for a smaller 'landing point' for doing other trimming work.
Like so many things, there is a strong plus for some, a major irritant for others. Personally, I love that we have them, but they are making it a bit slower to do other trimming for me. Mixed blessing at best.
Leave your emotions at the door. Use what works. Save the emotions for people.

@Jean-Freancoi2740338808rs unless there has been a fix, also at issue here is that the "Classic" preset doesn't look or act anything like the previous colors. There have been lots of people menting this preset as a solution. It currently is not.

I'll add my complaint. The colour scheme is atrocious. Classic or not. I only managed about 10 mins and had to revert. Asking us to manually adjust all the colours is ridiculous. How in the world are those colours meant to reduce eye strain? It's literally the exact opposite. We don't pay a premium to fix problems, we're busy and want to get work done without suffering a migraine afterwards. If this doesn't get fixed I'm learning Davinci.

We're all different, and feel free to opine here. The more the better. I didn't need the changes, but after taking the entire time of five minutes to mod things more to my liking, it's fine. I don't like the "inverted" brightly saturated waveform, and understand the objections of those who don't like the flat top due to space for the icons top right of each track.
I know plenty of others who love the new options. Including quite a few "old-school" editors who's first reaction to this was what the ...? ... along with anger. Who then tried "Vibrant" just to show how gosh awful it was ... and .. um ... they love it. They now work with the "Vibrant" preset.
As a daily user of both, I find the Resolve UI stiff and totally incapable of any customization. I've got friends who LOVE the Resolve UI, but that's great, there's options.
If you prefer the UI over there, and having no ability as a user to change anything, feel free. These are tools. Complicated hammers. Use what floats your boat.

You hit the nail on the head with the hammer analogy. Premiere is a tool, and as with any trade a tool should do it job well, improve over time, and improve efficiency. What it shouldn't do it suddenly turn a ghasty colour and expect the user to give it a paint job before they can start work. Adobe have been doing great but the general consensus is this is a bad update. And they should be called out for it.

Sorry, but you are totally wrong on the 'general consensus' ... because the general consensus of those who don't like it is they don't like it.
That is not how the wider user base has reacted, not even close. A ton of users have been exploring the colors they can now work with, and the added flexibility, and are thrilled.. And they're not posting 'here' because why would they?
Thee & me have our 'druthers how we'd prefer it to be. But I gotta tell you, some of the most curmudgeonly editors I know were initially outraged, and as I've commented, went to "Vibrant" just to get more justification for howling in RAGE.
And ... um ... loved it.
So even a lot of curmudgeonly editors love themselves the new look. Ah ... well.
I'm a realist. The vast majority of users either aren't bothered or love the new look. Thee & me ... well, we can try to get some adjustments as our best hope. So push for the adjustments you need, but as always, pushing politely is more effective to get humans to change something.

@R Neil Haugen I'm not here to get drawn into pointless arguments. I'm here to show actual adobe employees my complaint about the update.

Unfortunately, it wasn't in all a very usefully constructed complaint. I understand the frustrations, sure. Just trying to facilitate actual forward movement on these things.

And the devs have released a New Project Dialog panel in the public beta. So they do make changes as requested here, though it may take some time.

Bonjour, j'ai un problème concernant la couleur de mes clips , ceux-ci n'ont plus la même couleur par défaut. Je travaillais sur mon portable, et puis je m'étais connecté sur une grande télé OLED pour mieux travailler, Depuis que je me suis débranché de celle-ci. La couleur bleu - de base de mes clips et même toute les couleurs libellés de mes clips de sont plus les mêmes. Que devrais-je faire ?

et je tiens à dire que sur les photos envoyés, les couleurs ne sont pas les memes que ceux que moi je vois. Voila pourquoi je ne comprend pas.

I was excited when Premiere updated the colors of the layer labels. They look great in the timeline, but why do they look so horrible in the Project Bin window. I color code everything and for some reason the layer labels look like garbage - almost all the same tone, just different shades in the project window. Is this an error/oversight on Adobe's part or is this just a me problem?
Photos to show!

I just upgraded to 24.5.0, and the label colours changed AGAIN? I've already taken the time to set them back once, the last time I upgraded. Is this something I have to do on every upgrade? That's a serious usability problem! Stop overriding my label colours, please!

Same! I'm version 24.5.0 and the label colours have changed AGAIN.
The 'Original' preset now says 'Original (Modified)' and the colours are identical to Default.
WHY?! You fixed it, now you've wrecked it again? Can't you just leave it be, Adobe?
This is extremely tedious for a program I'm paying a premium to use.

just like to add +1 for an option to set the contrast/inversion on waveforms back to how they were previously. Sorry to pooh-pooh these fresh designs - maybe we will all come to love it, but I'm another full-timer finding this a bit of a barrier to working. Preciate all the innovation, and the help on the backend when we rub up against new stuff. Thanks

The problem from my point of view is that you don't seem to truly be able to make your own color presets. While changing to one of the options offered ("Classic," "Vibrant," etc.) it changes the colors for every sequence in your project. But when you change the colors and create a saved preset, it does NOT exhibit the same behavior. I am finding no way to change the color behavior of ALL sequences in the project to something that I like.
This seems silly. Am I missing something here? How can I accomplish a simple desire to make my own look, save it, and have all sequences adopt this look?

You can change all the colors to whatever you like.
I use the classic preset but change the brown into a bright red.

Just opened a project to find all of my colors were different just like majority of people here are experiencing. I customized the label preset to Classic and changed the audio color to green. Seems close enough to what it was this last few years for me to be able to go back to work

Earlier today I updated from 24.3 to 24.5 and was shocked with how the timeline looked. I tried going back to 'classic' and the colours were then ok, except for the inverted colours on the audio timeline. But what's going on with the waveforms!? Comparing the waveforms above, which are of the exact same audio, they look really small and squashed in 24.5 with the left and right audio not having equal height.. I can't edit with them looking like that as I can barely make anything out, so I had to revert to 24.3. The below settings are how I have them, it's even worse if I untick 'Logarithmic Waveform Scaling'.
