Book Covers are all black and white

For my main Calibre library, all the books in the Book Browser are in black and white. They used to be in color. The other libraries are fine. Obviously, I changed some setting, but can't figure out what to do to get it back to color.

There is no setting that makes covers black and white as far as I know. Are the actual covers black and white or just howthey look in some view?

To answer your question, they were black and white in both the Book Browser view and the individual book view. A further mystery. I opened the library, still all black and white. Then sorted by author looking for a specific author. Calibre quit unexpectedly. Restarted and most of the books are now in color again. 5 or 6 remained in black and white. I moved one to another library. Still black and white. I'll try moving a book to a tablet today and see if that is in color or black and white. Still stumped as to why the color returned to the rest of the books.
