Reboot the command system (hold on/off button on center console for 30-60 sec until command reboots) or disconnect the battery might help. Rebooting any computer seems to fix many problems. What I’d try, not an expert on the 2016.

There is a setting called "Adjust Ambient Lighting" that turns on the bright purple color overriding what you have configured. I stumbled on it the other day and click on the setting wondering what it does. I think it's for adjusting the ambient light intensity. It's buried inside the System menu. You want to uncheck the box to turn off the override. I'm going by memory but I believe its under designs sub-menu but not positive.

did you try any of the above mentioned suggestions? Most likely its a software problem, so a reset might clear it. Alternatively you could look into a firmare update of comand?

Hello sir,
I Tried the reset 60 sec, but wasnt the solution for me. I have also reseted everything to factory settings in command but still same problem
What could possibly be wrong ?

2017 E43 AMG
Same here, just picked up a 2017 E43 AMG, and if I disable multicolour node and try to select a single colour, it keeps reverting to Purple, Shade #28.
Seems most likely a software bug that is probably patched/fixed. Any ideas how to update firmware/software for the Comand system?
