Colour maxidot question - coding?

Bit of a random one today - after having the facelift Leon 3 for 18 months, and sorting through old photos on the laptop, it's only today that I noticed that the lines on the colour maxidots are different from yellow on my old 2014/64 SE Technology, to red on my current 2019/19. The thing's you don't notice lol, even though you're looking at the thing many times each day!
So the question is this - is this just different coding, or is it part of different software between the maxidot pods?
Asking for a friend.....well..... 🤪

As far as I know, it is connected with at least a software version (19,17,09) and is, caution: only half-knowledge, linked with the driving profile and the ambient lighting. If the personalization is activated

Then it's the 5F, 19 and 17

My "wife" has a 5F without a driving profile and ambience.

I will look

Don’t the colours change depending on what you’re looking at, i.e. phone, music, satnav, car data etc.?

Sorry, thought I had attached photos
I have had a look at my current car which is a 2019 FL SE Dynamic. I've attached 17, 19, 09 and 5F from scan. Every screen has red lines on the menu, whether it is driving data, navigation, audio etc.
My previous Leon was a 2014
First picture is my current car was a 2014 preFL SE Technology. The screens had different colours for the different screen menus. Sorry no scan for that one

It's much simpler than you think :) Color of the lines on the maxidot changes with selected ambient color, that's all. MIB2 units from 2015 to 2018 have version between 2xx and 4xx (I've got 480 version in my 2017 Leon) and have predefined colors on maxidot. H50 (I belive it's only Technisat Preh) and H55 (Harman) units with 5xx version were installed from 2018, have 5xx version and changes colors on maxidot depending on selected ambient color.

Unit is only part of the puzzle, because from 2018 there were also different BCM and GW installed.

OK, I'll send you an autoscan, which will be of my current 2019 facelift.
Both cars I am talking about are diesels. The earlier 2014 which had different coloured menus was a 1.6TDI SE Technology hatchback pre-FL with manual gearbox (two years before facelift came out) , the current car is a facelift 2019 2.0TDI SE Dynamic ST with DSG

So I have HW03 and SW0480 in my vehicle with 5F and VC and it changes the color according to the ambience. My wife has a 5F Leon with MJ18 and the desired function works there. Is it really the SW version or the HW version of the 5f?
