I believe we touched on this in another suggestion, but figured it should probably have its own topic.
Since right now there isn't a "host-only" lockout, and even if there was, you can't always rely on people to properly select their color. Even if they do it properly at the start, inevitably they end up swapping to a free color at some point between games.
Also, it is tedious to do a forcejoin for 9 other players, only to have them swap colors around after you have it set up, or mid-session between games.

An easy fix (at least for the "host", I have no idea how easy to develop) would be on the sync page if you could adjust people's colors to match in-game.
The workflow I see would be:

,newgame
,joinall
,sync

And then after going to the sync website:
a little button at the top (maybe a rainbow icon) that when you click it, it puts it in "color fix" mode so rather than toggling between dead/alive when you click players, it instead lets you click a player and select the correct color they are using. After you fix all the colors, you can click the color fix button again and it sets your changes. At this point, there could be a check that there is only one of each color (it won't let you exit the color fix mode until there is only one of each color).

I know there have been a few games where I think everything is color-coded properly, and then I "kill" player blue, and the lobby yells at me, why I muted blue when Yellow is who is dead (because they swapped colors). And it is such a pain to either have to do mental name translations between among us / discord names as well it is annoying to require players to use discord names in among us.

Ideally, it makes the "host" job more streamlined and easy so you can spend more time playing and less time babysitting!
