Once selected your masks will take on a new color each time you make a new one. Select the checkbox by going to Edit>Preferences>Appearances>Cycle Mask Colors. This is an alternative to having the same colored masks. You can also change the output module of multiple compositions by selecting multiple layers in the render queue. Render Presetsīy clicking the small arrow next to Output Module in the Render Queue you can save render presets so you don’t have to make each one by hand. This allows you to save colors for later using the color palette.
