Colored Key Signatures
It would be helpful to be able to change the color of key signatures.
I use PDF editing software to color the key signatures and key changes in my scores anyway, so it would save a lot of time to be able to automatically color them in MuseScore.
It would also be helpful to be able to assign specific colors to specific key signatures (Bb = blue, G = red, Eb = green, etc)
Some performers I work with appreciate the colored key changes: they're harder to miss that way!
See the screen shots.

This is possible in MuseScore. Select Key Sig. Choose your color in Properties > Appearance > Color

Wow, thank you!
I spent an hour yesterday looking for a way to do this. This will save me a lot of time.

Is it possible to export individual parts with colored key signatures from a larger score?
I applied colored key signatures to a score with four instruments, then I exported the full score and individual parts: upon export, the colored key signatures remain intact in the full score, but are black in the individual parts.

It is possible. On my Win 11 system the Key Sigs of exported parts keep their color.
