Even/odd state don't work as expected
I think you should apply Even/Odd on text components if you expect different colors on them. With Even/Odd applied on the column the effect will be visible with multiple columns. I'm closing this as it's not a bug but how :nth-of-type works

Thanks for reporting this, @javadsamiee.
Great question about Even/odd state don't work as expected. The recommended approach with GrapesJS is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
