Display bug: some game information displayed was wrong (with no important consequence on the game)
Detailed description
• Please describe the display issue. If you have a screenshot of this bug (good practice), you can use Imgur.com to upload it and copy/paste the link here.
In most of my plays of Darwin's Journey I got assigned the color yellow, despite it not being in my preferences, and even when colors that were in my preferences (blue and white) were available. In the linked game it says my colors and the green player's colors were picked due to preferences, which is clearly incorrect, as it's not like blue and white were already taken by other players due to what they set in their profile.• What is your browser?

27. Sep 2024 20:38 • Can you please recheck the color preferences and tell me all the colors you have set from top to bottom?
I tried different settings and always got the color I chose.

27. Sep 2024 20:55 • I have them set to red, blue, white, and black from top to bottom, yet I get a lot of yellows no matter what else is available. I have one recent game with white, but even after that I got another yellow as second player to get assigned preferred colors.

9. Oct 2024 22:31 • Since there is no red color in Darwins Journey, I assume that the yellow I chose (#eab327) is close enough to red (#ff0000) for the BGA color matching algorithm, but I'm not sure.
Since no one else seems to have this problem, I guess you have to live with yellow instead of red.

16.

Augustine93 who got blue has blue as preferred color, so it's not a sort of "off by 1" bug, but it seems to happen to more than just me after all.
