Using Flags in Apple mail

[Tomos]

Good morning to all. Not a really urgent point,But annoying one.
when I decide to flag a specific email I used to have a choice of colours ie red green blue. Now they have all gone Red.
is there any way to repair the problem.
many thanks.
David.

Good morning, David.

I can't recall which OS you have, but for a very long time, and certainly with Big Sur, Right Clicking on an email heading within Inbox brings up a number of options including "Flag" with its selection of colours.

I'm afraid I cannot insert an image here but will try with a second response.

PS Now that I've got the image finally inserted (Below): in what way does this differ from what you get?

This is what I see.

Thanks Ian.
I have the latest OS fully updated
When I right click on a email all the flag colours look the same as that are all dark.

 

[Tomos]

Mine don't look like that mine is all dark.

And if you add the Flag to toolbar, do you have it like this?

 

[macuros]

When I right click on a email all the flag colours look the same as that are all dark.

The most obvious, but have you restarted the Mail app?

 

[Tomos]

Thanks

that last image is in Dark Mode ?.I don't use that dark

 

[macuros]

It's the same for me in Light mode.

 

[Tomos]

Regarding The most obvious, but have you restarted the Mail app?
Never thought about that.
What would the best safest way to The most obvious, but have you restarted the Mail app?/
Thanks

 

[macuros]

Just quit Mail app. Or force quit and restart Mail.

If that wouldn't change anything, I would restart Mac.

I did quit the email and reopened it also did a reboot with no luck.
Any further info would be very much appreciated.

What is your Colour Profile if you go to System Preferences > Displays ?

 

[Tomos]

Light

 

[macuros]

I mean here:




On my MacBook Air I have Colour LCD as a colour profile.

 

[Tomos]

Thanks
This is my settings

 

[macuros]

Try changing it to Colour LCD or similar.

I can see all your colours are changed. See the red/orange/green button of a window.

Also, check in System Preferences > Accessibility if you have enabled any colour filters under Display:
