Color Preference Wrong

I'm a premium player and my color preferences are 1) Cyan, 2) Green, 3) Blue, 4) Pink.

In Heat I keep getting given the Grey car, even in solo, where the game log tells me that the colors are according to my preference.

In most other games I end up Green and sometimes Blue, because (I guess!) that Cyan is a rare color. So why in Heat doesn't it skip Cyan and give me Green or Blue, rather than seemingly allocate Grey in place of Cyan?

My fave color is Teal but Cyan seemed close enough.

Essentially, grey isn't just grey.
Many games have their own colors: their own grey, their own red,.... In an attempt to be as close as possible to the colors of the physical board game.
It happens that the grey in Heat is more greenish than most greys.

In Heat, cyan gives grey and so does green even though there is a green car.
But it's apparently really a framework issue.

Thanks for the reply and the bug link. May help others with the issue. I understand the devs approach (not matching car colours exactly to BGA colours) so I won’t be helped into the green car by having green as my top colour choice either. I guess it’s ‘go go grey’ for me :-)
