Hi Elaine, thank you a lot for looking at the problem. Sorry I forgot to attach the files, sending them now. I now suspect the problem is connected to my system. I updated Chimera to the 1.12, same story with default white colour for labels even if I open a brand new session.

I also attached the label file. Tested in 1.12 release and in current daily build, both on Mac, so it is still possible there is something different with your system. You could try the label file I attached to see if it makes any difference. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear community, I encountered a problem with 2D labels turning white disregards what colour presets I give.
The script reads title presets from a file (2dlabel path) and then display the title with these commnads:
2dlabels change * bgColor 1,1,1,0.75;
2dlabels change title visibility show
The 'title' label should appear as opaque black font as defined in the label file:
Label title (x,y): (0.18,0.5) text: u'Title' shown: False font size(s): 40 font style(s): bold font typeface(s): sans serif color(s): (0, 0, 0, 1)
But it appears in white. Bizarrely all other presets in the label file translate into the title appearance as they should except for the colour.
I run Chimera 1.11.12 (build 41280) on Unix. Script and label file are attached. Thank you. Oleksiy
