[1776] unable to assign neutral color labeling to particular civilian units

[Knightpawn]

I noticed that one is not able to "paint" as neutral civilian ships or cities that belong to a hostile or enemy nation. They inherit the color label of that nation and if re-colored as neutral they become red again in a sec. I am pretty sure this was not always the case because I remember doing it some time ago with cities.

Is this WAD?

I don't believe a save is needed for this but I post one as standard operating procedure

I have always created a separate side for "hostile" civilian sides if I have collective responsibility turned on. I do it for that very reason. If you have collective responsibility on, as soon as a side does something hostile, all side units become red. Thats how have read it and remember it.
