This occurred after changing the name of the drupal directory from /drupal/ to /d/.
Now I know that in the mysql data base there is a table called 'variable' in which is listed: -

color_garland_palette	a:5:{s:4:"base";s:7:"#55c0e2";s:4:"link";s:7:"#000000";s:3:"top";s:7:"#085360";s:6:"bottom";s:7:"#067689";s:4:"text";s:7:"#696969";}
			color_garland_logo	s:51:"sites/default/files/color/garland-934ff061/logo.png";
			color_garland_screenshot	s:57:"sites/default/files/color/garland-934ff061/screenshot.png";

And that currently the name of my /file/default/color/garland-5df86360 is clearly different from that shown in the db.
If I manually alter the name color /garland-xxx to match the db it does not help so I'm not sure what to do.

Any help would be gratefully accepted as I have managed to cause the same problem about three times now of different sites during upgrades etc.

It seems like there might be a bug in the color.module or some related file.
If I change the permissions for /site/files/default/color to 777 then it is able to create a new color folder for garland et al.

I changed the permissions for all directories: sites, default, files, color to 777 and result is the same as in the first cloudmaker's post. How to fix this headache?

Alfredas,

If you can delete your sites/default/files/color directory then recreate it and change the permissions to 777.

I found that I had to do this. The orginal colour directory would not let me change the permissions.
