 everything else will be inherited from the parent folder.
 Of course you can also only let some of the properties be inherited.
 Just play around with this a bit and you'll get the hang of it.
+
+Color Property
+==============
+You can set a color for each connection or folder in the connections list.
+This makes things clearer when you have many connections.
+
+To set a color:
+
+1. Select a connection or folder in the connections tree
+2. In the properties panel, find the **Color** property under the Display category
+3. Click on the color value and select a color from the color picker
+
+When you set a color on a folder, all connections under that folder can inherit the same color
+if their Color inheritance is enabled. This provides a visual way to group and identify
+related connections in the tree view.
+
+.. note::
+   The Color property can be inherited just like other properties. Enable inheritance
+   in the inheritance view to have connections automatically use their parent folder's color.
