Hi Morgan I am not sure which you are asking, but will provide solutions to each: The selection colour is by default, yellow opaque. To change your selection colour, go to Properties/General and change the selection colour there. [image: image.png]
To render each of the roads in a unique colour for each, choose the Catergorised type of styling in the layer's styling tab. Choose the unique value, such as name or FID.
