When selecting an object inside a component, the bounding box uses the same purple color as components. This makes it difficult to quickly confirm whether you’ve selected the parent container or a nested object.
It would be helpful if objects within a frame or component used a different selection color than the container itself. This visual distinction would reduce selection ambiguity and speed up precise edits.
A comparable example is InDesign: images live inside frames, where the frame is highlighted in blue, and double-clicking into the image shows an orange bounding box. This clear color separation provides immediate confirmation of what level you’re editing.
Introducing a similar distinction in Figma would improve clarity and reduce mis-selection, especially in complex, component-heavy files.
