I played around a bit, and now understand what you tried to tell me.

I never selected 'Apply to Master' with a slide(s) selected. Always selected
'Apply selected slides.' That's why, from Slide Master View, I couldn't see
any blue box.

It's been a great lesson for me. Appreciate both experts. Thanks so much!

No, it was not the situation I was talking about.

I somehow found out the answer, though am not so sure, after my previous
posting but couldn't get into the group to explain my findings (Have had a
difficult time to get in lately.)

My findings tell me that it requires 'two' sets of Master slides to give
slides 'two' different color schemes in order to see see a blue box around a
color scheme accordingly. (I could apply new color scheme to selected slides
but it does not mean that it changed Master Slides.)

In order to see what color scheme is applied to the specific slides with a
blue box,

1. I have to create multiple sets of Master slides.
2. Apply a desired color scheme to each Master slides,
3. insert a new slide, and then,
4. apply a desired Master slide to the new slide by Desing Templates.
5. And here is the slide with a new color scheme whose blue box seen from
Slide Master View.

Right? -- Not easy to describe the situation.:-)
