I would refer you to my answer to this question: 
https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/63045/impossible-to-edit-the-color-rule

Basically, delete your colorfilters file(s) from your personal configuration 
directory, then copy over the default colorfilters file from the Wireshark 
installation directory to your personal configuration directory.  You should be 
able to edit or import coloring rules after that.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Removing existing coloring filter for Wireshark 2.4.0 
for Mac OSX

Hi all,

I'm trying to remove existing coloring rule from Wireshark 2.4.0 for Mac OSX in 
order to import a new coloring filter file.
My Macbook Pro is running 10.11.6, El Capitan.
Wireshark remember its preexisting coloring filter on fresh install even after 
I removed Wireshark app from /Application, and followed the uninstall 
instructions described in ReadMe.rtf.
"colorfilter" must be the filename though it did not help to remove the file to 
force Wiresahrk forget the old coloring rule.

I need to import a new coloring filter which is compatible for 2.4.0 while the 
old preexisting rule is not.
When I tried to remove all lines from GUI then clicked OK, I see "Wireshark 
doesn't recognize one or more of your colouring rules. They have been 
disabled." error even though there is no rule defined...

What should I do to import the new rule file and remove old unsupported syntax 
rule?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Hide
