Color Scheme Configuration - Possible Bug - Unexpected Color Scales

Greetings,
I am encountering a problem when I try to adjust the "Category Colors" in the "Configure Color Scheme" window of the Global Configuration for my advanced chart.
I have a simple data set with three variable. I want to create a scatter plot comparing two of the variable, then use the third variable to define the color of each circle in the scatter plot.
This actually works just fine. I can plot my data and apply colors based on a third variable.
I have binned my data used for the color dimension.
The problem occurs when I try to modify the Category Colors.
For instance, the default Category Colors go from Navy Blue on top to Cyan on the bottom. I want the color table to adjust from warm to cold colors (similar to how the numerical gradient appears - but in reverse for my case).
If I select the Navy Blue color bar and move it down, eventually, all of my circles turn blue. If I close and then re-open the Configure Color Scheme Window, I find that I now have several Navy Blue color bars in my Category Colors window. This is not the desired result.
I have also tried right clicking on the colors to change them to the color I want. This results in a similar error.
The bottom line is that I would like a color table that goes: Red, Orange, Green, Cyan, Navy Blue - but I can't seem to make that happen.
Thank you for your help!!!
