Hi Tammy, You don't mention the font size of the PageBreak tag, but one thing you could do is apply some kind of autonumber (perhaps a bullet) to the format for when you are authoring/editing. Then, before you print, etc., you could remove the autonumber from the format. It's not perfect, but at least you can be sure that you see it as you page through the document.
To answer your question, though, I do not know why the color is not holding. You could try a different color and see if it "holds" better than the color you are using now.

The tag has a 750.00 pt Below Pfg characteristic and I have also applied a bright Fuschia color so that I can differentiate the pilcrow for the tag from that of a simple Body tag. When I apply the tag, the pilcrow is displayed in the Fuschia color, but after that, boom, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes the pilcrow holds the color and other times, it doesn't and I have to go back manually reapply the tag. It's very annoying as when proof-reading/editing my documents, I need to confirm that the tag is indeed a PageBreak tag and not a Body tag. (If I were just printing the manuals, then it wouldn't be an issue, but I am single-sourcing these docs. and using ePublisher to produce online help, so the issue becomes critical for this.) Has anyone experienced this or something similar at all? Why on earth won't the pilcrow hold the color? FWIW, I am using FM9 (all patched and current) on a Win7 64-bit system.
