Volume issue

I have the following settings on my chart:
Bar Period Type: Number of Trades Per Bar
Bar Period Value: 1
Graph Draw Type: Stair Step on Close
Volume Filter Settings: Exclude <= 74, Filter Trade Completely: Yes

I have the following studies on my chart:
Volume - This study uses Draw Style: Bar to display volume bars
Volume - This is a duplicate but Draw Style is set to: Custom Value at Y, to display the volume size above the volume bar
Volume At Price Threshold Alert - Bid Volume Threshold: 75, Ask Volume Threshold: 75, Total Volume Threshold: 75. I have set the Draw Style for Bid and Ask to Point, width 8. Draw Style for Total is Ignore

As you can see in the screenshot where I have drawn blue circles, there are quite a few instances where the color of the Point does not match the corresponding Volume Bar color.

Why is this happening? They obviously should be the same color because the colors are supposed to correspond to whether the trade is on the bid or ask.

Should I trust the “Volume” study colors or the “Volume At Price Threshold Alert” study colors as the correct version?
