Please can someone help? I have been using Claude for a whole day digging through options and nothing works, so thought I would reach out to someone here in hopes of getting this figured out. I have a graph built, my nodes have two labels, a General Label for all the nodes in this graph (_I will have several graphs in my instance_) and the other Node Specific label identifying the node type (_Person, Place, or Thing_).. When I do a [_match (nodes) return nodes_] in my Neo4j Desktop 2.0.4 interface all my nodes are colored, using the General Every Node Has This Label color instead of their unique Label Type (_Person, Place, or Thing_) colors. I can see the colors defined use the :Style command JSON settings but.. How do I say, Don’t Use the Generic Label Color for Every Node? Changing the order the labels are/were defined in does not help, Hunted all over the place but.. can’t seem to correctly do this.. see what I am asking. Can someone please help me out ---

It is inside the results overview - it is label-based. The “up down” arrow chooses which is the label used for property/size/colour. ![Screenshot 2025-10-10 at 14.59.01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/6/5/657081f74bc127a1416ec2316cecc821184e5ac7.png) ---
