Is this not supported in Heat?

Under Preferences/Appearance I have BLUE selected, which is clearly a Heat color and if not blue then Cyan. However, I'm Orange in-game.

I am the only premium player at the table, and my preferred colour is red. I know red is a possibility, because this also happened in a 4p game (where again I was the only premium player) and another player was assigned red, which confused me when I was performing an action. I ended up setting the option I wanted for myself against the red player, which wasn't me.

ETA: There is a bug for Planet Unknown here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=108210.

As to Heat, there is a bug report here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=99347, but I suspect Tisaac knows about it. I see their comments in there about matching colours being somewhat difficult, though I don't think that was my problem in Planet Unknown. Looking at the player's account, they're only playing solo games of Heat (with Legends), so I'm not sure if that makes a difference to choosing preferred player colours?

And no-one else in your table has blue/cyan as a preferred color ?

90% of the time I'm playing Solo.
