Hey, I faced the same issue and was so agitated by it. This is what I tried.
File ---> Account ---> Update Options (Dropdown next to Office Updates) ---> Update Now
It took a while to search and update. Make sure all open files are saved as it asks to close them all. After the update, the issue has been resolved for me. Table properties and more colours are both working fine now.
I hope this helps.
Just to add my two-pence worth I also have this problem, as does every deployed instance of Office 2021 in our school.
Steps that produce the crash so far are:
Accessing Table Properties;
Accessing Outlook Signatures;
Changing font colours and click 'More colours'.
Windows 10 Education, Office 2021 (also en-gb).

- I really hope Microsoft will fix this problem soon. It leaves a large number of Office 2021 features unusable. It looks as though it's connected with en-gb language settings.
- Yep, definitely connected to en-gb. Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit? I only ask since we're testing with the 64 bit and having these issues, haven't tried 32 bit yet.
