Done.

Options for the card should be under a nested card option. Check the docs again

I reduced the code down to this but state_color still has no effect.

    cards:
      - type: entity-filter
        state_color: true
        entities:
          - binary_sensor.laundry_door_lock
          - lock.laundry_door_lock
        state_filter:
          - "on"
          - locked
          - unlocked

Where would your suggested "Options for the card ... nested card option" go in that example?

EDIT
I can get the desired effect by adding state_color to each entity, like this:

        entities:
          - entity: binary_sensor.laundry_door_lock
            state_color: true

However, that seems like a workaround for the issue that state_color cannot be defined to apply for all entities within a given entity-filter card.

It's in the docs

type: entity-filter
card:
  state_color: true

Thank you for the example; that helped clarify how to use state_color properly.

BTW, recent posts in the community forum reveal others have also been stumped by how to use the new state_color option. One individual added it on per-entity basis and lamented having to make 150 additions.

Although you may believe the answer is "in the docs", the volume of puzzled users suggests it's not self-evident.

Thanks again for the example.
