Changing colors of blueprints

Changing the color of a group of item is only possible when the 'color property' of all the pieces are the same, that's what I know.
For example, if you made a group of items entirely out of gutter pieces(gutter cap, gutter 0.5m~2m, pipe 0.5~2m), whose color property is 'body paint color', you will be able to change the whole group's color. What I usually do is split the group to smaller parts with the same color properties to make them easier for me to change colors.
Though I don't think we can change the blueprint's color before we place it, like fountain effects. I too wish I could change the color of multi-object group at once like we can change the color of door/window/icon of staff facilities.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive answer.
I was thinking of things like this rock formation with the waterfall. I saw it on the trailer from the aquatic dlc in different color and I thought that it would be easier way to change it than doing it piece by piece.
Some pieces like faux rock arches are possible to change color before placing.
Sometimes I want to copy some buildings from scenario zoos and place them in a different parts of the zoo but it’s a Sisyphean task to change their color since you need to do it piece by piece.

In general, if they’re from the same set (e.g., faux rocks) you can change a whole group at once. If there’s an object from a different set in the group it won’t work. Try separating the waterfall from the faux rocks first - then you should b able to recolour all the rocks at once.
thank you
