Alternative bullet color for nested bullets

I’m not sure how it applies to your case, but Obsidian seems to be using the marker thingy to mark the lists, see my post on multi-numbering.

So not sure how, but I do believe you need to change the syntax to be related to the ::marker syntax, to get it to work. But I might be mistaken, I’m not that confident when replying to CSS stuff, it’s still a bit of a grey area for me.
