if I set the path like this it works image as well as this works image

so I guess this line is only referring to setting the json.path expression and not the relative path? image

I think this is just a mistake in your events. In the not working version, you have For each entry in "Array". In the first iteration of that, the current path will be "Array.0". Then the sub-event does For each entry in ".0". Therefore that will iterate the path "Array.0.0", which is actually the string "Blue" and so it doesn't iterate it as it's a string and not an object or array.

So in the subevent you want something that means "the current path being iterated" rather than ".0" which means "the first array element in the current path being iterated". Using For each entry in JSON.Path is the correct way to do that.
