I would use this feature ALL the time, right out of the gate.

Ouch, from 2013 too.

Hey, maybe while they have the track code open for the routing changes they can slide this in.

To quote Tom Jones, it's not unusual.

If somebody is able to bump that thread writing they can reproduce in Sonar H, maybe then a host could move it to problem reports forum..

Done, but I'm less hopeful than I was about it being implemented after reading Bill Jackson's comment on that thread:

Hey guys,

I agree this is a bug. However, it's not as simple to fix as it may seem and would require some fundamental changes to how we handle track colors (or track templates). So when we weigh the severity of the issue vs the risk of impacting other stuff we end up trading for other fixes. It is in our list and is not being ignored - we're just trying to use our time as wisely as possible.

Yeah... I think most of us were surprised this wasn't included/working...

I'm sorry to hear that it is somehow a complicated issue, but glad to know the Bakers are working on it...

Well, upgraded to Professional and started creating track templates. No color saved.....it seems so fundamental. Wonder what else is not saved

I really hope this gets implemented sooner rather than later.  The team has obviously been focused on bigger, cool features, BUT ...
 
Considering that custom track colors are stored and function correctly in *project* templates, the change to storing color info at the track level must pose some difficulty or compatibility problems across versions that aren't immediately obvious to us.
 

Colors in general seem to be a problem in sonar. It took a long time to even get any track colors! The colors selection seems limited and you can't save them with the track template. AND they acknowledged the problem two years ago. Cake claims it is on some list, but two years?
I suspect that colors were kind of tacked on and are very limited,  or that the code is so jumbled that it might be almost impossible to improve as it is now.
