It’s looks like it’s related to this? [FEATURE: Enable new color palette edit page (#34566) · discourse/discourse@c2e5674 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/c2e567443d6e6af3a8096a84e4cbfede77462957)

Thanks for the report @David_Ghost. This is related to the “new features” feed, which is populated from an API on our side. We’ve removed the bad entry from the API response now, so things should be working once you refresh the data.
Refreshing will happen automatically every few hours, or you can visit `/sidekiq/scheduler` and trigger `Jobs::CheckNewFeatures` manually.
