The color-based algorithm of strongly connected components is given as following:

procedure StronglyConnectedComponent(graph_CSR)
graph_CSC := csr2csc(graph_CSR)

for each vertex v in graph
    result(v) := -1
    color(v) := -1

while all vertexs have been labeled
    FW-coloring(graph_CSR, FW-Queue, color)
    BW-labeling(graph_CSR, graph_CSC, BW-Queue, color, result)
end while

return result

    sub procedure FW-coloring(graph_CSR, FW-Queue, color)
    rootNode := findNewRoot(FW-Queue, color)
    push rootNode into FW-Queue
    while FW-Queue is not empty
       u := pop FW-Queue
       for each edge(u, v) in graph_CSR
            if color(v) == -1 then
                color(v) = u
                push v into FW-Queue
            end if
       end for
    end while

    sub procedure BW-labeling(graph_CSR, graph_CSC, FW-Queue, BW-Queue, color, result)
    newRootNode := rootNode
    result(rootNode) := rootNode
    for v in this color region
        if indegree(v) == 0 or outdegree(v) == 0 then
            result(v) := v
        end if
    end for

    while all vertexs in this color region have been labeled
        push newRootNode into BW-Queue
        while BW-Queue is not empty
           u := pop BW-Queue
           for each edge(u, v) in graph_CSC
                if color(v) == newRootNode and result(v) == -1 then
                    result(v) = newRootNode
                    push v into BW-Queue
                end if
           end for
        end while

        if there is one more vertex which hasn't been labeled
            Re-color those vertexs which aren't labeled in last BW-BFS into rootNode
            newRootNode := FW-BFS(graph_CSR, BW-Queue, color)
            FW-BFS(graph_CSR, BW-Queue, color)
        end if
    end while

Here, for color-based alogrithm, each backward label process must be started from the vertex whose color is equal to its vertex ID. In other words, the starting vertex must own the lowest vertex ID in the following SCC. As a result, we use one single FW-BFS process to find the starting vertex before each BW-label. And another FW-BFS is required to re-color using the true starting vertex if the first FW-BFS is started from one vertex with greater vertex ID.
