The scopes section of the syntax documentation suggests I should be able to apply a colour to a scope by using, for example color.green.
This works when I set something in a pattern section, as per the Demo Rainbow syntax (I also double-checked to see it was indeed defined in the theme I was using), but it does not seem to work when I use this for the scope of an element such as the key, in a link definition (see below). Replacing the colour entry with text options such as text.bold, or text.underline work fine for this, but not colours.
The documentation seems to suggest I should be able to set the colour of the link as it is a scope and the text styling seems to be applied just fine. The behaviour I am observing suggests otherwise, or the very real possibility I’ve not taken something into account about how to do this.

I was extra careful to make sure that I dropped the British “u” from “colour” when I was trying this - it wouldn’t be the first time that had caught me out!
Can anyone confirm if this is possible or not, and if it is possible, how to apply a colour to an element of a link definition?
I am testing on:
- Drafts: 27.5.37 (Beta).
- MacOS: 11.4.
