If you search the Actions window for combinations of 'color' 'take' set' 'default' you'll find all the actions to set it up. You'll need the SWS extension.

I've got four custom colors set up. One of them is the "default color" which (as it seems to work) is not an actual color itself, but will inherit the color of the track it is in, or that it gets moved to, unless the item itself has been directly given a non-default color, in which case it will retain that color even if moved to a differently colored track. You can see that towards the end of the clip below, at around 0:45, after the takes in the item have been "exploded in place" and the now separate items are moved between the two tracks, their colors changing, or not, depending on whether they are set to a custom color or to the default.

Is it possible to Loop over the takes and look for specific colors to then select them and prop and glue them?
