I have messed with every setting something is off. As you can see to the right my RTH profile is able to color value from non value in purple and white clearly. I am doing a second profile for the eth session and am unable to duplicate the coloring. As per my screen shot on the volume bars outline and fill color the bars color is blue but nothing is happening. Profile remains white and grey despite the blue color indication. Please help this is driving me nuts.

The particular subgraphs you need to change depends on a few different settings for the Volume by Price profile.

First, if you have the following set to something other than "None" then you will need to change the colors for "Bid Volume Ask Volume Colors (SG6)".
Volume By Price Study: Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method

Then, if you have the following set to "Yes", then you would need to change the colors for "Value Area and Outline (SG9)". This will also have a dependency on the Bid/Ask Volume Coloring.
Volume By Price Study: Highlight Value Area

If you have the following set to "Yes" and you want to change the evening session profile, then you would need to change the colors for "Evening Session Volume Bars Ourline and Fill Color (SG11)":
Volume By Price Study: Use Separate Profile for Evening Session

And finally, if you just have the profile bars without any of the above, then you need to adjust the colors for "Volume Bars Outline and Fill Colors (SG8)".

Refer to the following for more information on each of these:

Okay thank you that did fix the issue, another issue I am having with profiles is creating a trailing prior day profile. I followed the instructions you guys have listed on this and the only problem I am seeing is the profile isnt stopping at the specified end time which I have set to 15:00:00 hours I took a screen shot, I am not sure if this is just a visual hiccup or if something else needs to be adjusted. Thanks
