After the update to latest Beta, the tag colors no longer work. Tags can be created but when used in the email list they show up as black only. The tags were fine before the update but this new version does not handle colors properly. Does anyone have a solution? I

I can confirm this happens in TB 65b3 with custom tags, but don't know why. It looks like this old bug:

yes, it seems they have not addressed it. It worked well before they changed the palette from 16 bit color to 24-bit color map. I have found no solution, the colors that I had previously made with pre-61 version still work but anything newly created all come out black in the email list. It's a bit frustrating since I use color tags to determine the email types I receive, whether they contain certain keywords (invoice, receipt, etc.) to be able to sort thru them faster than reading the complete list

One person resolved it by redefining his tag colors in the .css file, some of us have no idea how to do this so we are stuck with bad functionality

There are forum posts about styling the tags through a custom userChrome.css file, but I suggest if you really need this function, to use the release version until the beta bugs are resolved.
