If you have a cricut that is greyed out when you try to change the color of the buttons, follow these steps.
1. Disconnect your machine from power and plug it back in after it has been turned off for at least five minutes.
2. Open your machine up and remove the top cover by lifting it up and sliding it off (make sure you remove all of the screws).
3. Underneath the top cover is where you will find the controllers, ink tanks, and wheels. Remove them all (you will only need to remove one wheel).
4. On one controller, there should be three colored buttons: red, green, and blue (or black if you are using an older model). The button on mine was greyed out so I had to use a different button to change the color. You can see what color each button is in the picture below.
