[2.0.55] Parametrized train stations don't copy the color of a train station with the same name

When placing down a train station that has parameters in its name it doesn't copy the color of train stations with the same name like it used to.

These are my station blueprints.

Hm... the issue is extremally subtle and it is related to train stop having a color set. When a train stop has a color, then when you are placing a blueprint there are 2 color sources that are trying to set color of a train stop: first is related to renaming train stop to belong to a station that is provided by the parameter - this operation changes the color, however since you are building a train stop from a blueprint that also has a color, the color gets overwritten from a blueprint. From my point of view i would classify this as a Not a bug because your blueprint has color set on those train stops and as such the color from blueprint wins, however there is a piece of information missing from a player: train stop is capable of not having a color set in which case the train stop will take a color of existing stop with the same name. Effectively there is a hidden checkbox on the train stop's color that makes it have a dedicated color or use a default color.

I will move this to minor issues and will forward this to blueprint guys so they can decide if they want to make train stop gui bloated with another checkbox.
