My tori is a monkey and has been for years. I use a mix of beetle pack and bronze. Why does the beetle pack look red now instead of brown

Colour ID for Beetle hasn't had any changes. Have you loaded up a shader recently?
If not, I'd suggest you check your Screen/PC settings.

nah everything is fine and every other colour shows up fine. its just beetle. https://gyazo.com/3f64aa739b08c1a87918aa423e6e113f

Looks like an old bug that reappeared after color code was fixed for shaders in 5.51. Will push an update today.

Dope, cheers
