I choosed black, white, gray and yellow as my favorite colours, in this order. When I play some games, like Russian Railroads and Kingdomino, the game gives me the green color, even with yellow as one of the optional colors.

Report history
I've also seen this happen on other games, though I am not sure which other ones off the top of my head. I *think* also New Frontiers?
How hard can this be? Why can't Catan just tap into the same colour assignment routine as every other game?
Exmaple: table 278835815. I'm playing against 3 non-premium players, but I still get green, not blue. It confused me in this game, I misplaced the robber. This should surely be a simple fix. Make every game use the same colour assignment routine.
My preferences are Green first, and Red second.
When another player's favourite colour is Green, I am regularly assigned the colour Cyan and the game log says that was my colour preference, when it was not.
eg. boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=482057272
"The colors of ron0404, Grumbleguts have been chosen according to their preferences"
