Description
Currently, if we applied a color preset to a node, and then modify the color code in the python file of the color preset, the new color isn't automatically applied to the node when reopening the blend file; we have to re-apply the color preset to the node.
Is it technically possible to auto-refresh the nodes colors when reopening the blend file?
For example, before loading the color of a node, it could verify if the color is used in the color presets, and if so, save the name of the color preset used instead of the color itself; then it loads the color defined by the color preset.
In complement, when the blend file has been loaded, and a color preset is applied to a node, save the name of the color preset used instead of the color itself.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Python color-preset handling and the node save/load path used when reopening a blend file. Determine how a node's preset association could persist across loading, then verify that changing a preset updates associated node colors without reapplying it.
