It doesn't look like there is any code to give the new color a click event handler. That should be done before "Select the new color".

So you could add code to do it there, but another approach would be to convert the click handler already being added to the other colors into a delegated handler. That would make it work with both the current colors and any added later.

You could do that by changing one line:

//when clicking on control list items
// $(".controls li").click(function() {           <- change this line
$(".controls ul").on("click", "li", function() {  // to this instead
