Weird color shift

I'm trying to create a database of zip codes.  I downloaded a text file containing national zip code info, opened it in designer as an ASCII database, cleaned everything up, designed it to look nice, and in designer it now looks like this:
http://www.jamiara.com/zip-in-designer.jpg

Then I saved it as a new application and opened it in runtime.  In runtime it looks like this:
http://www.jamiara.com/zip-in-runtime.jpg

Huh.

So I started up designer again, and opened the db with it.  Sure enough, it had the weird color scheme.  So I changed the colors to what I wanted, and reconciled.  Opened the db again, and it was weird colors again.  Tried changing it back several different ways, with no luck.

Any ideas about what's going on?

Does the dsr change colors also, or only the db?

Yes, both changed.  I found other strange things going on when I redesigned:  I have 2 static text elements.  When I change the background color of one, the text color of the other changes as well (to the same color).  That is, if I change the background color of LE1 to red, the text color of LE0 also changes to red.  Freaky.

It sounds like something is wrong with the color table for the form. It may be using entries that are also used by the system, and can therefore be changed during use. We currently have another open bug which sounds similar to this. Can we have a copy of your database so we can look under the hood and see what it's got for a color table?

Sure.  I'll also include a zip of the ASCII data I used to create it.

I have been working with Ray offline on random color problems for a few days now. 

One thing of interest is that you used an ASCII file.  Almost the same as "import" in the fact that you did not create the elements manually. 

I look at that because my color problems seem (to me) to be related to elements and forms that were copied from other forms or imported with XML
