green sweater turning blue on frame 196

Hello and a good day.
Thanks for the enthousiastic people on the Forum. Its a real help.
I had a question about a character I worked on. I was quite pleased until I started to animate, as it turns out the green sweater and the green hat I gave the character suddenly turn blue on frame 196.
That obviously is not the way I wanted it. I used this character also for a back and front view and alas, it is the same problem.
What could I possibly have done wrong? I may have accidently pushed some setting or maybe I messed up my Styles...But I would need to correct this as like this its no good, and better yet, I need to find out what I did wrong so I will not do it again.
Thanks and have a good day.

Most likely you've added keyframes for color on frame 196. Check if that's the case then just delete those keyframes.

Most of the stuff you do on frames other than 0 will be keyframed so make sure to only make changes that you want permanent on frame 0.

Thanks ponyshasher.
No, I checked this. I thought this would be the case, but it is not. To make sure I took out all animation from the project, but it still turns blue on 196.

It seems I had the problem with my styles. I took out the styles and gave the little fellow a different colour. Problem solved.
I suppose I better study up on exactly how to do styles. It should not be too hard, but this must be where the problems where.
Thank you for looking into this.

Hey Ponysmasher
I went to your Site and had a great time looking at your Youtube videos. Frutowash is superb. Excellent work. Wow. It is so helpful to watch the work of animators like yourself to tickle your inspiration bone and show that it can be done. We keep trying, working and sweating. Marvellous.

styles themselves have a timeline for editing their colours - so you might not be seeing a keyframe in the main timeline if the style isn't itself selected.

Go to the drop down of styles and seletc the one you are using, then double check frame 196...
