I haven't been able to create a color pallet where the alpha value wasn't present:

Can you describe the steps you're taking to allow us to reproduce this?

That alpha controls the amount of bleed through from the original shape. Are you looking for transparency? If so you want to edit the mesh of the shape using the "More Visuals" option.

Then click the Customize Mesh button:

Then select the mesh you want to override with a new color and alpha:

Then you have transparency without the need to use a transparent texture map:
