Color Options missing after repatch

Your light is a Design Spot 250, right?  That does not have a color mixer.  There are colour wheels of fixed colours.  Because of that the default palettes cannot be used, the default palettes represent the RGB or CMY color mix of a luminaire with a color mixing system.

You will need to make you own palettes that correspond to the actual colors present on the color wheels.

There is a trick you can use to make these colors appear on the console's palette buttons:

You will need one dummy device, let's say #24.  Patch a generic RGB device to device #24.  When you choose you real spotlights, also choose the dummy unit #24.  When you make palwettes for the real units include the dummy unit and adjust the Hue/Sat faders to make the button color resemble the actuial color in the Spotlight.

If you are using groups make sure you include the dummy unit in every group.  Now whenever you choose real lights you will also be choosing the dummy with the RGB property and the palette buttons will display the chosen colors.

As an addition to what Adam said, once you have programmed your show, please save it to an SD card. That way when you next update the software in the console, you can simply reload your show into the console as well instead of having to rebuild it each time.

I hope this helps -
