Let me make this clear I use a specific color for glbx and a different color for reg trading hours.
I don't want universal color for all charts. Easy before, Running 2913

There is no direct support for setting the color of the Last Trade Price Box based on time nor has there ever been. Are you stating that this was easy to do before version 2913, and now you can not do it?

The workaround for this is to use two copies of the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study to display the Last Price in the Price Ladder. Set the following for this study:
- Output When Condition True: Use Input Data
- Input Data: Last
- Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Draw Style: Subgraph Name and Values Labels Only
- Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Color: Set to the color you want for the particular session
- Subgraphs >> Color Bar >> Value Label: Enabled and set to display in Right Side Values Scale

You need to then set your Alert for the study to cover the times you want for the particular color. For instance, to color from 08:30 to 15:59:59 the alert condition would be the following:
=AND(BARTIME >= TIME(09, 30, 00), BARTIME <= (15, 59, 59))
