Tested with GZDoom 3.1.0 and GZDoom g3.2pre-392-g49b77f3
I'm not entirely sure if this is actually a bug, but it seems strange that the same color that can be applied to things from a sector (sector "Colors" tab in GZDB) can't be set on the thing directly (thing "Action / Tag / Misc" tab) unless that thing's renderstyle is stencil or shaded.
EDIT: Attachment removed.
In this test map, the tree on the right gets its (green - 00FF00) color from the sector. The left one is supposed to have the same color (It's set directly on the thing) but doesn't.
Coloring things directly doesn't always work(?)

You can't change the color of a thing outside of those render styles unless it's an actual translation. See here for details.
Re: Coloring things directly doesn't always work(?)
So why does it work when the color comes from a sector?
Nevermind. I feel like asking anything at this point would be futile.
