Component Color Cycling - Something is wrong.

[Beyondforce]

Hey guys,

As you can see in the below picture, the Component Color Cycling chose some really odd colors combination.

Where are the Blue, Green, Red, Purple, Yellow, etc.? Why can't Fusion start with more contrast colors first?

@jeff_strater , will you please forward this post to the right team? Thanks 👍

Cheers / Ben

What I've noticed is Fusion picks from a list of colours for each new component but it's not per design. If you close Fusion then reopen, start a new design and start creating components each new component will have a different colour until you get to about 30 components in the Photo Booth environment. The problem comes when you open an existing design the next component you create could quite easily end up being the same a the one you created the last time you edited the design. So if you have several designs open and working on at the same time you run into the same problem. Create a component in design1 then 29 components in the other designs, come back to design1 and create a component it will be the same colour as the first. Keep doing this and you can end up with all components in design 1 the same colour.

What they need to do is cycle the colours on a design basis rather than just on a per session basis.

Note Photo Booth has more colours at the moment, the other environments only have 8 or 9 but this has been reported and I think the fix is coming soon. I added colours to my Dark  Sky environment and this is what I get after a restart then create a full set of components for each colour.

Also, do you know there's an option to cycle through the colours after creating the component?

Hey @HughesTooling,
Thanks for the tip! It does give the option to manually change the color 👍
I just wish the auto color peeker was better in choosing a contrast color. Also, it would have been great if you click on the "Cycle Component Color" you would get color palettes to choose from!

I guess we would have to live with this for now.

I agree. Would be a nice feature.

Love Fusion  360 but seriously, pop up the color palette so we can click and choose color instead of having to cycle through.  or even a eye dropper function to pick color.
