Yeah but in this case you might not be directly dependent on colors. You might be dependent on http-server, which is in turn dependent on colors. You can only roll back http-server, and unless http-server rolls back colors, you are stuck.

So set it in overrides? Blacklist it in your private mirror? It’s your project, your environment, and your computer, you’re never stuck.

Oh I agree, nobody is stuck. I'm just pointing out that, sure, there are messy workarounds, but in this case it is not as simple as "rollback".
