Color my drum sounds

Please check the image below, it's a screenshot from somebodies youtube video, this is the drum editor.
Notice the colors on the left, how can I assign these colors? All attempts have failed.

Unless.... is this an Impact only feature? Any workarounds if so?
I'm using Battery 4 (it has it's own color set within the plugin, I don't expect Studio One to inherit them).

This is especially useful for Atom SQ functionality whereby I can press coloured buttons in the step sequencer. If I can assign colors via the drum editor then happy days are here.

Thx!

I did some playing around and yes, sadly this colouring is limited to Presonus (er Fender) instruments.
(Although I hope somebody proves me wrong!!!).

That's not cool IMHO, it's taking away decent functionality from my ATOM SQ, when I want to use third party plugins. We seem to be behaving a little bit like Apple or Samsung here with a closed eco-system.

Yeah, sure it's pretty cool to be able to assign colours in plugins, and have the pattern editor inherit them, which in turn gets inherited by the Atom SQ or whatever.

But I should also be able allowed to assign colours in the pattern view for plugins that don't have that functionality built in (which is basically all third party plugins).

Maschine (for instance) with it's software and hardware sequencer, will happily let me colour anything from any plugin.

That needs to be fixed.
