Its because these queues:

are set to change the item to black and they are all on the first output of each upstream queue. Those upstream queues are set to send to the first available, which are the queues with the black setting.

yes the first queues are set to change to black, the others are set to change to blue, red, gray, and white. there are 35 queues, and these should be the total at the end of the line. see chart below, what I see is that even a queue is set up to change to blue, at the end it came out black, I end up with more blacks than blues, red, etc

Black 29
Blue 38
Red 19
Gray 24
White 10
Total 120

I don't think you're in control of the numbers being sent through the ports. Use round robin on the send to ports if you want them distributed evenly.
