As is shown in this video

when I assign the color to the parent file，then I can’t change the color of sub models.

Is this a Bug?

Maybe the file,Segmentation-models,shoud’t have the color attributes

When I adjust the color of the parent folder, the color adjustment of other models will be invalid

If you specify a color for a folder then by default this color is used to override the color of children nodes. You can disable this feature by right-clicking on the color box and uncheck “Apply color to all children”.
