action: only one color by "set color label"?

I would like to assign several color labels (e.g. blue and green) to a file.

Is that possible?
When I tried this in two consecutive actions, only the last assignment was retained.

If “green” was set first and “blue” in the second action, only “blue” remained.

Setting two colors in one action does not work.

I am using MacOS 15.4

You want to set tags instead. Technically, a file only has one actual color but can have multiple tags, which may have colors.

Thank you for your feedback.

Several colors can be set in the Finder.
Or are these other tags than the ones that are set via “set color label”?

Internally, there is only one actual color. What it's doing is setting tags with one of them being the actual color.
