Automation clip: Make colors on automation follow mixercolor

Hello!
I have noticed that if I select a color on a plugin or a color on a mixer slot and I create an automation clip, the automation clip that is being created in the playlist is not the same color as the plugin or the mixer slot that I have picked. For example:

If I create a sound in a synth, let´s say Harmor. I rename it in the Chanel rack to something I like, change it to a color I like and add it to a mixer slot so the name and color follows. Let´s say I put on a Fruity Reverb on that mixer slot. Then I create an automation clip for the dry signal. An automation clip has been added to the playlist. The name follows in the automation clip, fine, but not the color i selected for the mixer slot. Same problem applies when I go via Tools -> Last tweeked -> Create automation clip.

I like to have things categorized by color when I am producing. So now, everytime I create an automation clip I need to go in and select the right color manually for every single automation clip.

Can this be done automatically? I mean, the name follows automatically to automation clip, but the color does not...
Another example: If I create an automation clip from a Mix level in a mixer slot, let´s say Mix level for Fruity Reverb, neither the name from the mixer slot or color will follow in the automation clip when it is created in the playlist. Now I need to both rename and switch color for the automation clip that has been created.

To summarize: I think that if you select a color and a name for a synth, the name and color should follow when you create an automation clip. At least, it would be great if that was an option when you create an automation clip: "Keep selected color and name?".
