Model Editing
You can also change the tinting color of the unit that uses the missile. If the missile is a model that can be changed vertex-wise, it will get its vertex coloring changed, once you change the tinting of your unit.

ok so how do i change the color with model editing?

I'm pretty sure its under "art" in the unit editor, you can also change it with triggers iirc, but i cant check now.

There's one way to do it in the Object Editor, just set the unit's Art - Tinting Color 3 to the maximum, while the rest (Tinting Color 2 and 1) are set to 0.
I hope that helps!

yeah i know that but some doodads can't be colored in the object editor

Hmm... I suppose Model Editing would be one of the few ways.
However, since I can't Model Edit, I'd usually make a Trigger which make a slightly bigger unit that cannot be clicked but overlaps the Missile every time it's being fired, so that the color of the other missile would overlap it too and it looks like its color
If you didn't understand that, don't worry because I hardly do that unless it's important.
