colorpalette not displaying graph using Stata18

[Paula TH]

Hi!
I'm running the simple command 'colorpalette economist', but it does not produce the graph as usual. The only thing that has changed is that I updated from Stata17 to 18 so I'm wondering if it's related to that. I run the same code that I use to run on Stata17 to create a palette of colors and format an Excel file, but Excel no longer recognizes the colors. I tried running the code on a computer with Stata17 and it works perfectly (also, just running colorpalette generates the graph with the palette as usual). Does anyone know how to fix this? Is colorpalette now depreciated on Stata18? :/

FAQ 12.1 states "If you are using community-contributed (also known as user-written) commands, explain that and say where they came from. . . ."

colorpalette was written by Ben Jann and is available from Stata Journal (findit colorpalette is an easy way to install it).

I am using Stata 18 and colorpalette economist works for me. Maybe you need to update the program? Other than that, your best bet is to contact the author directly.
