In stable 5.2.1 in Linux, I change the colors of markups states and hit save to defaults.

After slicer restart, this is what it comes back as:

after restart

Looks like active color is written to the field of unselected, and then get’s back reset to the default green.

@lassoan  
Was this merged too late for todays preview?  
For me it is still the same issue with today’s preview (windows).

(looks like it wasn’t merged. I will see if we can get a local build to test it).
