std_msgs::ColorRGBA is not coloring specific markers on RViz

edit

I am trying to publish colored LINE_STRIPS markers on RViz. I came across this message and tried to apply it to my case. Although all markers are published, the problem I have is that specific segments are not being published with the specific color I am trying to show.

The error I get from RViz is: Number of colors doesn't match number of points.

I came across this source and this source too but could not understand what I am missing to show the color I am looking for. I also consulted this source to see if I was missing something useful.

Please point to the right direction for solving this problem.
