I translated it and saved translated file as.
The file is perfectly translated but the colored segments are black as all other segments.

Since TTX file is coded text file, it can be opened in MS Word.
Using a special software [I have one copy--in Word template] or [old fashioned] Trados on Word, tags are shown in color where you can edit conveniently.
The simplest method is open TTX as text file in Word and change color of tags you want with the classic function of Find/Replace. It never affect the TTX file functions if you save again as text file.
