That’s perfect! All you need to do is to select the correct color node when you load the segmentation (or you import the labelmap into a segmentation node):

You can create a color node conveniently by setting up a segmentation with colors and segment names and export it to a labelmap volume (result of the export operation is a volume node and a color node).
