Next, in a separate TwinCAT HMI Project, right-click on the Project in Solution Explorer and select "Manage NuGet Packages" -
Navigate to the Browse Tab and ensure Package Source, in the top right corner, is set to TwinCAT HMI Customer. Scroll down to find the TcHmiColorInput package and install it.
