I use 3rd party file manager, Directory Opus that is very efficient. It has a function to change colors of files and add labels.
Doesn't seem to work on OneDrive or SharePoint files.
Developer not sure.

I use "files on demand" for most SP files. But I tested this on a file that was already marked "always save on this machine", used Directory Opus to change a pdf file color to orange, waited a bit to allow synching to cloud, then browsed to the synched file on a different PC also using Directory Opus. Color was standard Adobe red as on the local machine. Went back to first machine, color was still orange.
But if I copy the SP file to a folder on my lan server, change the color there using Directory Opus from my local machine, then from a different local machine than has Directory Opus, browse to the server, the file is orange.
So seems that SharePoint doesn't support the metadata for color?
There's a third party File Marker. But they'll tell you they use proprietary database to store color attribute. Only works on one PC, not even a lan.
