AUM: Assigning PERMANENT color to apps/nodes

Ahoy’all. My question: Is there a way to permanently assign a color to an app in an AUM node?
I am constantly repeating the color assignment routine with every project I create, so it would be a relief to load an app and have a permanent color attached.
There must be a trick to this, because at one point I assigned a warm brown color to 4Pockets Progressions, and now that color does continue to load with Progressions every time. I must have done something to cause this, but I can not figure out what I did. I’ve searched all available data/info sources for an answer with no luck, I’m hoping someone here can enlighten me. Thanks!

    I wonder whether that's a bug haha, because I don't think there's a way to do it. One thing though that might be a kind of workaround, but won't be ideal:

    You can save an aum session with apps with colored nodes, they are saved with those colours. And when you use the import feature, you can import those into the Session you're currently working on, and they'll import with the colour they were saved with. The problem is, this will leave you stuck on a channel level. As soon as you add a node with a fresh instance of an AUv3 onto an existing channel, you will have to set the colour manually.

    Well, then if there is no way to do it, I’d like to figure out how to not do it again, because I’ve done it.
    Progressions remains the only app I’ve found that retains its color.
    So if it is a ‘bug’, the question becomes: Why am I the only person to find this bug?
    Is it a bug in AUM, or a bug in Progressions?
    I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye; perhaps there really is a way to assign and permanently retain color?

    anything to do with “AUv3 shortName & color” section in AUM manual?
    Progressions is brown, no idea why…

    I suspect that this default background color may be caused by some property implemented by the AUv3 developer. I notice that the Hilda synth has a blue background, and Hammerhead is yellow, both from Bram Bos. And we see that Progressions is brown. But there appears no way to change the default color for a specific AUv3 in AUM.

    When I load multiple instances of Progressions in AUM it shows different colors in the background of the icons, first brown, then a lighter brown, then a grayish green, and the next one as a MIDI fx shows a deep green.
