Try without the search

<input type="dropdown" token="color" depends="$color_dropdown_token$" searchWhenChanged="false">
      <label>Color</label>
      <choice value="*">All</choice>
      <choice value="Green">Green</choice>
      <choice value="Orange">Orange</choice>
      <choice value="Red">Red</choice>
      <initialValue>*</initialValue>
    </input>

The timeframe you showed (which I removed) applies to the search to dynamically populate the dropdown. Since you don't have a search to populate the dropdown (as shown by your error message), you don't need the timeframe here. You can still use the time in other parts of your dashboard.
