Supported colors are:
- 52/SX, small Keys on 52/RX and small Keys on 52/MX: yellow (color scheme entry #1) and red (color scheme entry #2).
- 52/RX and 52/MX big Keys: yellow (color scheme entry #1), red (color scheme entry #2) and green (color scheme entry #4).
Those color codes can not be changed. See color scheme for more information.

You can use Flexible Keys in combination with Channel Start. If the view with the affected fader is not visible, the button does not have this function.
