In its previous form we had the same red/ruby appearance we have now, but the options for changing the color were limited to cycling from red to green to white to black and back to red. We can still do exactly that by pressing O to show the overlay (if not already showing), then pressing Shift+O to cycle through each color. But now we can do so much more.
