Yeah, you can ‘select all’ with LB I think, then the colour changes apply to your whole ship.
Double click any part within ship builder, which will highlight the entire ship in red. Then I believe the default key (J) will show up in the bottom as "Color (J)" if memory serves. I think if you move the mouse after clicking the option won't appear.
double click with with [LMB] to select everything that's connected to the module you're clicking on; or CTRL-LMB to group a selection of modules; then press [J] to bring up the color menu.
Console MVP right here
Honestly the controller UI for shipbuilding is better than the mouse one; I tried shipbuilding with a mouse because I wasn't super happy with the controller UI, but I found placing modules way harder with the mouse because you don't have manual control of which level it goes on, the game tries to guess where you want it based on your mouse position and it's not always right.
It's hidden that's the problem.
