The default color (gray) is assigned.

Analyzes the color of the selected track and uses the same color for the new track.
- Use Previous Track Color +1
Analyzes the color of the selected track and uses the color that comes next in the color palette for the new track.
- Use Last Applied Color
Uses the color that is selected in the Select Colors pop-up menu.
- Use Random Track Color
Uses the color palette as a basis to assign track colors randomly.
