Yes, select the note and use the Properties Panel > Appearance popup to select a color.
The Color Notes (boomwhacker style I think) is also included and can be activated from the Home view; then used/applied from the Plugins menu.
There is currently a bug though where you can't set the color for a single notehead within a chord; it currently always colors the full chord: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/11096

Thanks a lot, @jeetee ! <3
I can't change the colour on some of the notes... You can see in the screenshot that I changed the colour to red on the entire score but the A, B and G are still in grey... I even deleted thowe 3 notes and re-added them, but no luck! Any ideas?

They are out of the amateur range for that instrument

Thank you! Could you explain? How do I fix this?

This won't print nor export to PDF
To fix on screen either use notes inside the amateur range (possibly using a different instrument), or change the range in staff properties or disable the coloring in preferences
