text color changed to red after conky upgrade 1.19.6-1 --> 1.20.2-1

After an upgrade of conky all text colors seem to have changed to red. My .conkyrc contains  ${color yellow} many times, but it's not being observed. Did the rc format change?

Yes by hex works fine

You mean you can't choose colours in  your editor?

I got caught the same way. Shows how long it has been since the last time I updated my Conky config. Finally got the hex values set up. I have noticed another oddity though.

I have some network monitoring. On my laptop, it shows either wifi cor ethernet connections, or both if I'm running  on two different networks. Worked for years. Still works now, but for some reason, the wireless_bitrate figure seemed to be missing. It does come up, but if I modify the config and conky reloads, it takes several minutes to reappear. Very strange...
