The sprite color of the two prefabs does not change at the same time. What to do?

Question

I used switch statement to change color presets for camera background, particle system and two prefabs. The problem is that the "tile" prefab color loads the desired color, but the "border" prefab color remains the same, and is loaded only after one more scene reload. How to rewrite the code so that prefabs change color at the same time?

 using UnityEngine;
 using Random = UnityEngine.Random;
 
 public class ColorPresets : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] private int _numOfPresets = 2;
     [SerializeField] private Camera _cameraBackgroundColor;
     [SerializeField] private SpriteRenderer _tileColor;
     [SerializeField] private SpriteRenderer _borderColor;
     [SerializeField] private ParticleSystem _particleColor;
 
     private void Awake()
     {
         ChangeColors();
     }
 
     private void ChangeColors()
     {
         var colorPreset = Random.Range(0, _numOfPresets);
         var main = _particleColor.main;
         
         switch (colorPreset)
         {
             case 0: // White/gray.
                 _cameraBackgroundColor.backgroundColor = new Color(0.670f, 0.635f, 0.635f);
                 _tileColor.color = new Color(0.207f, 0.207f, 0.207f);
                 _borderColor.color = new Color(0.207f, 0.207f, 0.207f);
                 main.startColor = new Color(0.207f, 0.207f, 0.207f, 0.003f);
                 break;
             case 1: // Yellow/RaisinBlack
                 _cameraBackgroundColor.backgroundColor = new Color(1f, 0.929f, 0.396f);
                 _tileColor.color = new Color(0.117f, 0.129f, 0.168f);
                 _borderColor.color = new Color(0.117f, 0.129f, 0.168f);
                 main.startColor = new Color(0.117f, 0.129f, 0.168f, 0.003f);
                 break;
         }
     }
 }

Have you tried to execute this script before other scripts?

Edit -> Project Settings -> Script Execution Order

Add the script ColorPresets with a negative priority, for example , -50

Hope this helps

Since the colors are the same for both prefabs, you could try creating an array with the instances of the prefabs and then use a foreach loop. Something like that: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

 var prefabArray = new SpriteRenderer[] {_tileColor, _borderColor};
             
 foreach (var prefab in prefabArray)
     prefab.color = new Color(valueOfTheColor);
