I tried it but it doesn't work properly. Do you know what could be causing this problem? The solution I put previously also stopped working.

I cannot debug pictures. Also define vague terms such as "stopped working". You can define the default start color for all list boxes before the main code.

You are right, sorry. I am attaching the VI with its files. Regarding my comment "it stopped working" I am trying to say that, at first when executing the VI, it did respect the color of some values, but in the second execution it no longer respected it, I am sure it was because I did not have many items in the file, so please ignore my comment.

An active row of -2 means all rows. If you want to give each item a default color based on item name, you need to iterate over all elements using an inner FOR loop.

See if this can give you some ideas....

If you want different default colors for each possible item, I would implement a lookup table.
