AR:

The color palette has changed to red and the vertical selector is now at the top position.

I have attached a short video for better understanding.

The color palette remains consistent.

Thanks for filing. This is an issue with all color pickers in the inspector I believe.
Brian, is this a known issue with spectrum? Is this something we should fix on devtools' side?

Adjusting priority accordingly to the importance (P5 = will accept patches if someone wants to try their luck at this).
Also, clearing the needinfo for Brian, we have a copy of spectrum in-tree, if a fix is needed there, let's do it there.
