How do you get the color panel to actually work?

I’ve tried over and over with multiple projects and I can’t get the color panel to work. I can change the colors, unlock them, but it has no effect on the rest of the project. Even doing the surprise me and clicking on different designs has no effect on the project. I’ve got five or six projects I’ve tried this on and the color panel.
I’ve watched every video I can on this and it just shows the color panel working in all the videos. I’m not doing anything different even loading a brand new project and the panel does not work.

Here’s some screenshots I just loaded in this car template. Go to the color panel. I can change the colors. Even the surprise me works. But it has no effect on the design whatsoever.

Here’s three examples from three different projects. Nothing affects what I’m working on when I change something in the color palette.
So I can’t set the colors on the design I’m working on to continue working on the page.??
This is all bootstrap. Even the bootstrap templates. The color panel doesn’t work.

Since you’ve opened several threads, I’ll link to the reply I posted in another thread:
