[GIS] How to edit a group of selected features in QGIS

featuresqgis

I am dealing with a large number of planning units across a very large study area. I am selecting a number of features using the advanced search in the attribute table, and would like to edit them (i.e. change their colour). The only way I can think of doing it is to save the selected features as a new layer, and then edit that. Is there an easier way?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Matt: if the features have common attributes, you can theme them on those attributes. Check Properties > Style and choose Categorized or Rule-based and play around with the settings there.
