There is also a problem, that is, the initial color setting does not take effect. No matter what value the color is set to, it will be reset to #00ffffff. I studied the source code and found that it might be the initial value conversion problem caused by the converter of the selectedvalue of the GridView below, but I cannot replace this converter through resources, so it is difficult to verify.

Windows/components/ColorPicker/src/ColorPicker.xaml

Lines 287 to 296 in fae8940

	<controls:Case Value="PaletteItem">
	<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
	<GridView Margin="0"
	Padding="0"
	animations:Implicit.HideAnimations="{StaticResource HideTransitions}"
	animations:Implicit.ShowAnimations="{StaticResource ShowTransitions}"
	ItemsSource="{TemplateBinding CustomPaletteColors}"
	SelectedValue="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Color, Converter={StaticResource NullToTransparentConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}"
	SelectionMode="Single"
	Tag="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Color, Mode=OneWay}">

Windows/components/ColorPicker/src/Converters/NullToTransparentConverter.cs

Lines 16 to 20 in fae8940

	public object ConvertBack(object? value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language) => value ??
	#if WINUI2
	Windows.UI.Colors.Transparent;
	#else
	Microsoft.UI.Colors.Transparent;

Oh yes, I didn't notice this issue, when I saw your latest issue, I thought it was also related to colorpicker, so I replied，sorry.
