Typically power cycling the controller and just comes back up as the same colors as before. However, if battery dies on the primary controller and it gets connected with a USB cable without repairing the primary controller status, it comes up with a new set of colors. Using the Elite2 controller always assigns 2 colors. One color you can select and the other is usually a dummy color. Though on occasion both colors get stuck as selected and you have to restart the game. If USB cable is plugged in to the xbox one X and has nothing connected to it, it also assigns the USB a color even though there is no controller attached.
