"B" and "C" are actual elements (boron and carbon), so they can get "real" colors. "A" is not an actual element, so then Sunny assigns the two "A" atoms distinct colors because they are symmetry-inequivalent sites.
Maybe if a type is specified, then we should always color by type, and not by symmetry equivalence.
The atom coloring can be confusing in this case:
