UI - beckground color for elements in collections

Problem: In large scenes, it can be difficult to visually identify where a Collection starts and ends in the Outliner. Even with collection color tags, the objects inside the collection do not inherit any visual grouping, making navigation and scene organization harder.

Similar to folder visualization in Substance Painter, objects inside a colored collection could display a subtle tinted background, border, or grouping highlight. This would improve readability- like in substance painter 3D atleast
