Try it on a single model. If it works there then it's not the effect that has the problem. You keep mentioning a model group. Have you tried other effects that sweep colors on that group?  I tested that scenario before I left and the effect was working right with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 colors selected. Try 4 colors and set the first 2 to the same color because they both apply to the head. If that doesn't work then we know it's a problem with the models and not the effect.

I will try those things.  So, only the first two colors link to the head?  Is this the first two boxes, or first two selected, or both?

Technically a morph always uses 4 colors:  head start, head end, tail start, and tail end.  If you select less than 4 then we try to make smart choices.  If you only choose 1 color then that is assigned to all 4.  If you choose 2 colors we assign the first color to the two head colors and the second color to the two tail colors.  If you select 3 colors we assign the first color to the two head colors, the second color to the tail start color, and the third color to the tail end color.  If you select 4 colors its a 1:1 mapping.  Only the boxes with checkmarks feed colors to the palette choices.

Just to be sure, is this how the colors are mapped for morph???

Do not ask to know all the answers, but ask to understand the question.

Yep that's how they will map if you select 4.  I usually like the head to stay the same color so using 3 works for that.
