Just because the DATA is accessible to make changes to the colors (RGB values), this has NOTHING to do with whether or not the software engineers have embedded the necessary logic (software) to manipulate those choices based on the car configuration (eco, comfort, sport).

DATA is variables/parameters/values. CODE is software/firmware/logic. These are fundamentally different...
I understand the "coding" can be misnomer, but ability to change depends on individual skill set.

And, the way you phrased makes it sound like request is not possible.
