Description

### What Happened?

When you create a task list, you can click the three dots to change the color of the list or show/hide completed tasks. When clicking any color on that menu, the task list does not change colors, even though the color picker says the new color is selected. If you quit the app and reopen it, the list will have its original color and the color selection will be reverted to the original color.

I can reproduce this in both the classic and secure sessions.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open an existing task list or create a new one.
2. Click the three dots and try setting a different color for the list.
3. No changes observed in the task list's color.

### Expected Behavior

I expect the task list to change to the assigned color, as it did in OS7.1
