Solidworks 2012.  While working in a drawing I am trying to change the colors of balloons and their text.  I had created a layer, changed the colour to red.  Then added balloons to the document as the part of that layer.

Initially before I click and place the balloon the colour is red, but as soon as I place the balloon the colous changes to a brown/beige and cannot be changed from what I can see.

As a note in the formatting toolbar I am able to change the ballon text size, but the colour button is greyed out.

Has anyone run into this before?
