In a gradient mesh, I can't tell Illustrator to select all points that are the same color?

Question

All I can find online is to highlight over an area to select multiple mesh points. That will not work in my case. I can't tell illustrator to select same color, the way it does with fills and strokes? I want to change the color and I have to click on every single point again? Ridiculous.

You can assin colors an dhe recolor art filter will only read the color at the anchor points which I think is desirable
Look at the very warm red color color and how I change it by assingin a new color in this case a blue. Read about the Recolr Art Dialog in the help files it is bit tricky at first but does  lot of good things.
After you get the colors you want you can turn them into a color grpups as well and you will have the swatches in your swatch panel.
Then if you have similar colors that you wish to cahnge the same color you can use the edit color wheel and move the color selectors over one another.
Here I turend the warm red to a yellowish color as wellas the more orange color to match the new color .
