Color channels in the Timeline

I have just wasted 2 hours of my life with Tech Support trying to access the color channels in the timeline. Can anyone answer this simple question?

Thanks in advance-

Do you mean the color for fills and outlines? Select the shape first, then the keyframes should appear on the timeline. Similarly, if it's style keyframes you want, select the style from the style pallet first.

Or right click on the keyframe Label > Select Color

Am i right in thinking that they don't show up until you've made a change to them OFF frame 0? the lanes may be hidden till you need them...

Thanks, funksmaname, you nailed it. Mystery solved.
Initially, my problem was that after I had done a fill/stroke on my character from the style palette, it would later mysteriously change to black and white. I thought maybe I had inadvertently created another color keyframe in the timeline. But that may not be the case. Can anyone think of a reason why a color fill could change without intent?

Thanks,

Maybe the layer was moved inadvertently in the sequencer and the keys are hidden behind frame 0?
