Change the color of the group

Is it possible to change the color of the group (one color used) without exploding it?
Thanks for the answers

Yes. If you cannot change the color of a closed group, then double-click on the group to enter "edit" mode. "Select all" and apply the new color. There is no need to explode groups to make any change you want.
This is referred to as "entering the group", "editing the group", or "opening" the group. It is a command in the contextual menu when right clicking on a group: "Edit Group" (or you can double-click as mentioned above). Afterwards you can "close" the group by way of the Edit menu or left clicking in open space.
If you really want to be able to just paint the whole component without opening it: First edit the component (or group), select all and paint all the DEFAULT color. Thereafter you can change the color without editing the component.
