Using node style color in foreach loop messes the node label text up. Why and how to fix?

Question

Trying to use \foreach for node placement and coloring fails. Node label becomes e.g. redredcaptionA where red is the desired color and captionA is the node label text.

Desired result would be a node with captionA as label text in red font color.

MWE

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
  \begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \foreach \i/\text/\color in {{1,1}/captionA/{red},{2,2}/captionB/{blue}}
        {\node[text=\color] at (\i) {\text};}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I have seen some related posts, where the node definition needs to be in an \edef definition but it's not solving the problem.

Answer 1

It seems to be because you're (locally) redefining \color, use for example \ccolor as the loop variable instead.

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
  \begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
      \foreach \ii/\ttext/\ccolor in {{1,1}/captionA/{red},{2,2}/captionB/{blue}}
        {\node[text=\ccolor] at (\ii) {\ttext};}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
