It seems for whatever reason multi-color project is bugging out. I’ve made my base red and city silver, yet when I slice the file there are random seams with a different filament color. I’ve tried fixing by using height color, sphere color, nothing seems to work. The color does not show in Prepare but shows in Preview.
Seams are aways shown as white. I see no problem there, only the seam showing. If you untick “Show seams” on the right side in the preview window, they will be gone.
They serve only as a guide so you know where the seam will be created
Also, go to the paint tab, erase all painting and start over. It seems you have some yellow there.
Uncheck this box:

Thats the thing, I never used any yellow in in painting. I used all coloring options to take it out but it wont go away. I thought the seam itself might be yellow but its not true after unchecking the box. Its the slicer adding yellow at random places. Here is the previews without seams.
Is that model private or public? if public, can you share the link so i could take a look?
The models are public and were loaded as STL. I colored the piece myself

Thank you. Give me a second and i’ll report back
What if you select the model and press 4 to set the base color to gray?
Assuming you still have grey in the 4th color slot of course as you do in the screenshots.
I wonder if the models’ base color is yellow and you missed a couple of spots when coloring. You can also see that if you switch to objects here:

Got the solution. It’s a common error.
You had the whole model colored as base yellow. And then you painted with every color, except the yellow. That’s why the slicer was trying to put some yellow there, because you instructed it to use yellow as base.
Try this, it’s your file but already good.
Edit: check the bottom, i think it is the same as yours. Everything else is colored as it was by you

Actually, forget the above file. I saw it created a higher purge tower and just changing the color order, i reduced it to half.

Thank you both for the help! Changing the base color indeed fixes the issue. I still find it weird that the slicer will try to force the color despite being painted but I guess this gets around it.

Not a problem. just be sure to make silver as the base and you can cut on the purge tower and some filament/time.
Glad i could help
