Hi, since a couple of week changing a color in a lottie file results only in the animation not being shown at all. Is the lottie file web editor broken ? Example: [https://edit.lottiefiles.com/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.lottiefiles.com%2Fpackages%2Flf20\_pXERnM.json](https://edit.lottiefiles.com/?src=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.lottiefiles.com%2Fpackages%2Flf20_pXERnM.json) Try to change blue to something else. ---

@benjamin I tried to change the color with the example and you’re right but my animation color can be changed easily in Lottie Editor. I think the issue may be in AE comp or layers. Try changing color here of animation:[https://edit.lottiefiles.com/?src=https://assets5.lottiefiles.com/private\_files/lf30\_8jnkea.json](https://edit.lottiefiles.com/?src=https://assets5.lottiefiles.com/private_files/lf30_8jnkea.json) ---

Yes, unfortunately, it is currently impossible to change the text color. I think I will add this feature in the upcoming releases. ---

I have the same problem, when I use the editor and change the colour the animation doesn’t appear at all on iOS. works fine on Android. I don’t see any issues using the feature and support checker. ---

Hi @amin_jodeyri can you share the link (allow download) of your lottie animation? It is only happen to the particular lottie animation? ---
