DISCLAIMER: This article merely helps to correlate the setting options for the Table of Contents (TOC) as it pertains to COLOR and editing the settings to reflect as intended.
When I first began using Captivate, I didn’t find the TOC settings to be intuitive or easily interpreted. Furthermore, I didn’t realize you have to refresh the TOC to apply changes (so I would preview in HTML, but not see my changes). And depending on the setting, Auto Preview may not show changes.
I’ve labeled each setting to better explain how each color is represented in the live course. Access TOC settings via Project > Table of Contents… or SHIFT + F10 (Windows) and be sure to (1) Enable/Check “Show TOC” and (2) refresh accordingly.

Final Tips
Though the focus of this article is color, if you want to change “Table of Contents” to the course title for example, click the bottom Info button and update the Title field.
Check/enable the Overlay setting if you prefer the user open and close the TOC like this:
