pdf highlight colors - gray is gone?

I recently updated and find that the color options for highlighting pdfs are a little different in this version. Not sure if this is the same for everyone, but for me the options no longer include gray, which was my preferred color. Any way to get it back, or is it maybe hiding somewhere where I can drag it out from?

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks, just pasted it into the original query. As you see, the highlight options are yellow, red, green, blue, purple. There used to be a gray option as well, but that disappeared with the last update.

That's Zotero 6 — you seem to have somehow downgraded, not upgraded. Install Zotero 8 from the download page.

Okay, I am laughing at myself. I have no idea how this happened. Thank you so much. I hope I have at least entertained someone....
