This is on a hosted instance.
admin/customize/colors/new.
The select base color scheme box comes up, but whether I select dark or light, clicking the “new” button does nothing.

Can confirm here on Meta. Could this be select-kit related @j.jaffeux?

It’s fixed now. I don’t know if it got updated or it was a browser thing.

I can assume you we didn’t change anything. If you do a browser refresh, does it go back to failing? It does here.
Looks like the “default” option is what’s failing. Changing the selection works, and it continues to work until a browser refresh.

It seems like a new color scheme can be based only on Dark. But somehow I managed to create one based on light.
I can’t quite figure it out.

I don’t know if it’s related, but I also cannot upload a theme. I can select it, but the import button does nothing.
This seems like a problem that was fixed a couple months back.
