Set SelectedColor = Red in XAML or code behind or via databinding. Open the color Picker - the red color in Standard Colors is NOT selected but it should be. A possible workaround could be: <Style TargetType="telerik:RadColorPaletteView"> <Setter Property="SelectedItem" Value="{Binding MediaColor, Mode=OneWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=telerik:RadColorSelector}}" /> </Style> Available in LIB version: 2014.3.1208
