Hey, You are on the right path, but just missed one thing. The static QColorDialog.getColor() can take an optional initial color. What you will want to do is save the previous QColor only if its valid (not every time). You can also set the color to its exact rgb values instead of a color name. In my example, I start the bgColor with a saved value of white, and constantly provide it back to the dialog call.
QColorDialog.getColor() - http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qcolordialog.html#getColor-2 https://gist.github.com/justinfx/5793291 I had to use gist because pastebin kept saying I was posting spam. Also just one nitpicky thing... I am not sure if you are importing * since you didn't post the import statements, but its a lot better to either import the exact classes you need, or to import the QtCore and QtGui modules as a namespace. This prevents your module from becoming entirely polluted with every class in the Qt modules. from PyQt4 import QtCore # or from PyQt4.QtGui import QFrame from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt Hope that helps!
