I realise this is poorly explained... let me try again.

When I get to the colours dialog in the options, my instinct was to hit the "Add" button to add a new colour. But this creates a new colour from the active colours (which is, by default, Blue 8 with RGB (153,204,255) for me) and fails with a "Duplicate entry" error. There's then a pop-up which prompts me for a new colour name.

I put in "Scarlet". I wanted to set it to (61,6,7). So I hit "Modify" to modify the colour, then set the RGB to (61,6,7), the colour looks OK, and I hit "OK" to save is. The problem is that this saves "Scarlet" as (153,204,255), because to save my updated colour, I was supposed to hit "Modify". This also applies if I change the colour with the "Edit" button. I would expect "OK" to save the colour as it is, and "Cancel" to revert to the previously saved colour.

Hope that's clearer. In any case, happy to see the bug report get attention :)
