I am trying to have different color for players in multiplayer. In lobby script, I sent signal with name of player to gamestate.gd. There I assign it to the red or blue array. That part works fine. In the player script, I change albedo color based in which array the name can be found. It seems it gets executed for all remote peers but not locally on each client.
lobby.gd

signal red(name)
signal blue(name)
func refresh_lobby():
func _on_team_red_button_pressed():
red.emit(gamestate.get_player_name())
$Players/TeamRedButton.disabled=true
refresh_lobby()
pass
func _on_team_blue_button_pressed():
blue.emit(gamestate.get_player_name())
$Players/TeamBlueButton.disabled=true
refresh_lobby()
pass
