SUMMARY The custom colors I had saved wiped. No problem, I figured I'd just set them back up. Do so, then click okay. Open kcolorpicker again and -- well, the colors are gone again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a bunch of custom colors 2. Click okay on KColorChooser 3. Relaunch KColorChooser OBSERVED RESULT All custom colors reverted to #ffffff EXPECTED RESULT My color schemes should probably save. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
I can reproduce this issue on NixOS with KDE Plasma 6.4.1 and Qt 6.9.0. Using `strace` to monitor file access, kcolorchooser only reads configuration files but never writes when saving custom colors. The application shows no `write()` system calls to any config files during the save operation. Custom colors persist within the current session but are lost on restart because they're never written to disk. Previously I was able to manually edit ~/.config/QtProject.conf to customize the palette, but that no longer works as kcolorchooser appears to ignore Qt's standard custom color configuration. **Expected:** Custom colors should be saved to `~/.config/QtProject.conf` or KDE config files. **Actual:** No configuration data is written anywhere. This appears to be a missing save implementation rather than a file permission or path issue.
I'm experiencing the same behavior after updating on Mint; custom colors saved previously are gone & no longer saving after application closes. Been using this software very frequently recently & issue occurred immediately after only updating the program. Version: 25.04.2 OS: KDE Flatpak runtime 6.9 (x86_64)
I've had the same problem since July. As of now I'm search of just manually configuring the custom colors. But the color picker doesn't appear to load any data when It is called. Happens globally, no matter the app (spectacle, kcolorchooser, etc). Anything that uses QtColor.

Switched to system package of KColorChooser for Linux Mint Xfce & it works there. Version 21.12.3 Flatpak version still not working: Version 25.08.1
