color changed for no reason

in the attached model I assigned colors before queue 66 to flow items , some of the colors assigned before the queue make it to queue 66 with theirs respective colors,(blue, red, white) some (the majority) are changed to black with no reason. Why? see attached model

Its because these queues:

are set to change the item to black and they are all on the first output of each upstream queue. Those upstream queues are set to send to the first available, which are the queues with the black setting.

yes the first queues are set to change to black, the others are set to change to blue, red, gray, and white. there are 35 queues, and these should be the total at the end of the line. see chart below, what I see is that even a queue is set up to change to blue, at the end it came out black, I end up with more blacks than blues, red, etc

Black	29
Blue	38
Red	19
Gray	24
White	10
Total	120

I don't think you're in control of the numbers being sent through the ports. Use round robin on the send to ports if you want them distributed evenly.
