Thank-you David, this is helpful. Clearly something missed early on when the event was being set up.

The GM & IM sections are set up in Swiss Manager as team tournaments in which four teams of three players play each of the other teams three times. By default, SM assumes that in team tournaments colours alternate on successive boards, and this appears to be the problem with reporting of colours in the FIDE Tournament Report. However, SM also provides a check box on the Tournament Data Dialog which allows this default to be overridden:

Ticking the "All boards the same" box appears to fix the problem with misreported colours in the FIDE Tournament Report.

Thanks for posting. This could be very useful if I ever try this format instead of an all-play-all.
