Updating text label colors between scenes

I have text labels for a series of scenes. The label visibility is controlled through the tags. I am able to change the label fonts and sizes between scenes, but I the color changes do not follow the changes I make in the text editor. The colors revert back to the most recent setting. Is there a setting I am missing?

IIRC, no. That is a universal setting that isn’t controlled by scenes.

You could use a plugin (or even the native 3d text tool) and make the text into geometry / objects and then control with Tags and you can make them whatever color you wish - but you would lack the connectivity to the model and the ability to easily edit them.
