      A few months have passed since the bug occurred. And developers do nothing. 🀬

        I've found a work around that works (so far) for me. I'm on Opera 63 and if you type "opera:flags" in the address bar you get access to some experimental settings (no guarantees!). Find the #force-color-profile setting and change it to sRGB (very rich colours on my kit) or Display P3 D65 (a more muted colour scheme). HDR settings might have some unexpected effects.

          If you have to change that setting that usually means you need to adjust the color profile for your monitor in Windows. You do this in "Color Management", add the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and set it. That's of course if you don't have your monitor set to some other profile on purpose.

          Then, you won't need to change the flag.

            Setting the Color Management profile worked for me. Kudos to burnout. Very glad to be rid of this little annoyance.

              This is not very well documented. We can set a thumbnail image for each speed dial tab:

              1. Click the tab,
              2. Click the heart (β™₯) in the address bar; this is the same heart that is clicked to add a bookmark,
              3. Use the thumbnail carousel to select the thumbnail that is to be used to represent the bookmark in Speed Dial, then
              4. Click 'Done'.

              The Add to Bookmarks button (the heart) can be used to put any singular page tab into Speed Dial. I only realised this today after months and months of frustration from wondering why Opera didn't have the option available in the actions dialog displayed when a tab is right-clicked.

              More details here https://blogs.opera.com/news/2015/07/customize-operas-speed-dial/

                I also have the same. In Opera 64 it became permanent. In version 63, I only saw this phenomenon occasionally. My monitor is profiled properly... This variable coloring is really weird. 🀨

                  @nomansland I only stepped on finding a solution to this today because all my Speed Dial bookmarks had turned to purple after the Opera Stable update installed into my computer, and some shades of purple give me a headache.

                  Seems that the colours change each time Opera updates; almost as though the scheme resets. There must be a cache that is automatically wiped after Opera updates are applied. If there is a cache it would suggest we might be able to manually edit those button colours.

                    You're 100% right. That would be the best. We can choose the graphics in tiles, and we are not able to change the color...
                    These purples are pretty nasty. 😠

                      @nomansland good to know we all are seeing the same colours. It means the Opera devs are setting them with each update.

                        can confirm this, in previous version (I forgot the number) when speed dial change color I just restart Opera and the color back to normal, now in new version (Version:64.0.3417.47) I can not restore the color back to normal, even though I restarted many times

                          Same issue here. With Opera 64.0.3417.47 thumbnails' colors are incorrect. What used to be orange changed to purple, what used to be blue change to orange... Restarting Opera doesn't help.

                            So now I have version 64.0.3417.54 and the color problem is still there.

                                          Same problem here after updating to latest version. Would be nice to be able to set thumbnail colour instead of letting colourblind developers do their stuff.
                                          Changing the color settings in opera://flags/#force-color-profile doesn't do anything

                                            Changing to sRGB didn't work in O64, nor did scRGB linear
