Polygon shown in grey (not chosen colour)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
What is the expected output or behavior? What do you see instead?

I have put together a KML file that includes a polygon representing a 
flight path as a curved 'ribbon' or tape.  When I open the file in GE 
I get a dark grey polygon instead of the yellow desired.  I have 
around 90 points in the polygon. The first and last point of the 
polygon are identical so I assume it is closed. The geometry of the 
polygon in GE looks correct. Only the colour is wrong! 

The polygon uses absolute altitudes but when I select "clamped to 
ground" the polygon becomes yellow (as required).  If I then reset the 
altitude to "absolute" the yellow colour remains.  I can save and 
reload the resulting .kml file but this doesn't help when I want to 
show a new calculation. 

When I parse the KML in the API I (unsurprisingly) get the same effect. 

What application versions (if any) are you using?
5.0.11733.9347 

Which operating systems and browsers are affected?
XP  IE6 (but also firefox)
