Option to go back to old timeline label colors?

So apparently the new update has changed the label colors in the timeline, and I do not like them at all. It's supposed to be "easier to see" but it has the complete opposite effect for me. The colors are very dark and have a cheaper feel to them. I know that you can set your label colors to "classic" mode in the settings, which is supposed to be the old look, but it's not the same look at all.

I'm currently going to set premiere back to an older version, but I'd love to see a way to go back to the old colors.

I'd also like to toss in that the smaller markers are annoying...I use markers a lot, and having to slow down and be more precise probably doesn't change my work speed at all, but it is a constant, minor annoyance.

Oh, and while I'm making a wishlist, I'd really like different clips to be different colors, eg. audio clip 1 has maybe a purple bar next to it. and a purple outline, audio clue with yellow, or something like that. I realize that the usefulness for that tops out at about a dozen clips, but it would still be nice, even if the list colors started over.

Seconded! The Smaller markers and the different transitions are a severe downgrade in visibilty and practicality.

Just saw the change in my colored labels in Premiere Pro. HATE them. I will try to restore in settings but . . . these dark colors do not help me. Just putting in my 2 cents.

Not sure if it was already answered, but you can go into the SETTINGS > LABELS > Default, Classic, Vibrant, Editorial.

Changing to Vibrant really improved my mood. Personally, did not care for the 24.4.1 Default color.

The colors for the labels are close, but the dark audio is painful to look at an dhard to make out- I don't see anyoptions to change its color back to white?

I did find thr reset to "classic" colors. I like hving the option to change a label

color. Thats helpful. However, i dont understand how Adobe chooses to change the default color out of nowhere and cause all this scramble. I thought my computer had a virus or something. Ive been using Premier Pro since version 1.5. Yep! That long. So to change my default workdesk color space on your own without notice is rather inconsiderate. I love the option to change the colors - nice option. However, no reason to make a creative change to a default color pattern when your dealing with actual creative people. We dont like that ... 🙂

The classic setting resembles the previous versions.

Have you tried resetting your preferences? My version of premiere never changed colors, I only get newer dark colors in the beta version, and even then the "classic" preset does look like the old colors still.

(Cerulean at it's default does have white text though, which has absolutely awful contrast.)

(if this image appears, beta with "classic colors" on top, current release bottom.)

If you aren't able to get the colors restored by resetting preferences, I can copy/paste the hex codes in my preferences from the classic pallete and see if that works for you to manually change them? 😮

I am able to set it to classic colors, but the thing is, it's not the same. It kinda resembles the old colors but there are a bunch of things different like how the color of the audio wave is not dark instead of light, which has a really bad and hard to look at contrast compared to the old colors.

Ok so I just found out that you cannot open an existing project in an older version, so I guess rolling back to an older version isn't an option...

I can open projects made in 24.4 in 24.3. So it depends what "older" version you use.

Yes, that does seem to be true, but for some reason 24.3 now also has the new colors.
