Question

When highlighting a selection on a color page, even if you switch between black and white highlighting and highlighting, it will only be displayed in black and white. It is displayed in color on the node.

Answer

There is a possibility that "Show high-contrast black and white matte in highlight function" is checked. If this check is in, it will be displayed in black and white regardless of the selection of "highlight (green circle)" or "black and white highlight (yellow circle)".

[DaVinci Resolve] - [Preferences] -> [User] tab -> [Color] -> [General Settings] -> Uncheck "Display high-contrast black and white matte in highlight function". (OFF by default.)
