While you can change the color for an unordered list or ordered list bullet using the topography settings, you cannot change the color for a list container or any of its children. However, you can cheat and add a font icon to each child container and change the color of the font icon. I use the no-bullet class on the list container then add a font icon to each list item container, use flex row, center items, and then change the color and size of the font icon using the typography settings. Once you have done one child just duplicate it.
Hopefully, CC will allow the color of bullets to be changed for the list container in a future update.
Once you accomplish the impossible, then you can move on to the hard stuff!
