Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct
In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

Oliver, am I right you are seeing the Appearance in the Properties panel, as the section of it, and not the full panel?
Please check this: open the actual Appearance panel and see if you object has two fill assigned, and the one that is focused is the lower one.
If this is what you seeing, please pick the Eyedropper tool, press Enter to open its options and check if you have both Appearance options checked in two columns.Please comment back. It’d also help to see this problematic object shared in a test file.
