I think... What is happening is that the color command should take in a name like “color yellow, i. 1" or a CMYK color vector. When you are saying “color 1” it is just starting at the first index of CMYK which is black.
There is a command for your problem though. Just say util.color_chains() and it will color all individual chains a different color.
