i'm stumped here. i'm having an issue with fill colours. for some reason when i input a certain colour (RGB 46,66,86) it defaults to another colour (RGB 51,51,102). this only happened a few hours ago after i had been happily working away with in FW with the RGB 46,66,86 colour. obviously i have upset the program in some way but i don't know what i said or did to make it react in this way. all other colours respond in the way they should, the only issue is with this colour. restarting FW and/or the computer does no good. what is going on??
 
it sounds like the palette is snapping to websafe colours.

if you click on the fill colour to open the palette, then click on the arrow in the top right corner, you can select/deselect 'snap to websafe' in the menu that pops up.

hope this helps,

ss...
