Broken: version: 3.5.1, branch: blender-v3.5-release, commit date: 2023-04-24 18:11, hash: e1ccd9d4a1d3
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
The color swatch in the top bar in Grease Pencil draw mode is half transparant, showing what is in the viewport underneath. I don't want my color swatch to show anything but the solid color that I've chosen.

PS
This is also present in the latest 3.6 beta

Hi @jwvdronkelaar , This is kind of a side effect of displaying a "disabled color selector". Notice the switch on the left side of the color selector is on "material" but not "vertex color", this would disable the color selector which the "grey out" made it look kinda transparent.

Not sure what the best way to fix this is. Hiding the color in material mode? (But that way it may lead to difficulties finding the per-vertex color feature)

This is how works the disabled color controls in Blender. IMHO don't think we must change this.

@ChengduLittleA I see what you mean. I guess that makes this not a bug. I thought it wrongfully inherited the transparency of the topbar somehow.

While I think it says something I never made the link of "transparency" meaning disabled (not to mention the utter randomness of the visual result being dependent on what is in the viewport below) I guess wanting that changed into something more intuitive would be a feature request instead of a bug report.

Thanks for explaining, at least I understand why this occurs now. I agree this is not a bug.
