Colors in ColorPicker Default to Semi Transparent

[markolbert]

With apologies for being new to WPF... I'm using the pre-release version of the MVVM community toolkit.

If I bind ColorPicker to a Color value like this:

<cpkr:ColorPicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"
                              HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                              SelectedColor="{Binding RouteColor, Mode=TwoWay}"/>

and the modelview definition of the property is like this:

        private Color _routeColor = Color.Red;

        public MainViewModel()
        {
            RouteColor = Color.Red;
        }

        public Color RouteColor
        {
            get => _routeColor;

            set
            {
                SetProperty( ref _routeColor, value );

                _appConfig.RouteColor = value;
            }
        }

then the color displays as semi-transparent (alpha channel value 128). In fact, it doesn't appear like the binding is working, since changing the color to Blue doesn't change what gets displayed.

Sigh. I think the problem is elsewhere. I'm closing this issue for now.
