This for the record:
 
Today I opened an older file that I use only occasionally:
all colour highlighting was gone.
Closed the file (to update IQ from 97 to 97a), opened it again, and got this error message (didnt notice an error message from 97, but may have pressed return on it without thinking/noticing):
---------------------------
InfoQube
---------------------------
Error loading colors specific to this IQBase. Use Tools>>Options to set these again. (You can open a backup file to retrieve the item color settings)
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------
 
which of course was a very helpful error message    :thumbsup:
 
Note:
Option 2.1.4 (colours) just shows: ################
 
File is synced via dropbox

Named colors are saved in the database... Perhaps restore from a previous backup or Dropbox sync and then copy the colors from tools > options to a text file. Then paste back to the file which lost its named colors
