Hello- when inside in the block editor, set the display color to By Parent

Then it will take on the layer color of the instance layer.

so i had no success that way. what i did was explode them then join them and that solved the color problem. and now the objects are meshes

Hello- see the attached file, I think that is what you are shooting for. The objects in the blocks are indeed meshes.
