Change colors in Preview - Feature Type?

Is it possible to edit the colours used to represent different features in the Preview mode, with Feature Type active? I'd like to have support materials be shown in a brighter colour to stand out more against the bed colour.
Thanks

Yes, I would prefer Neon for supports. Also, an X ray view of the model if possible to see supports in the interiors of a model. Cant do Cross section all the time

To answer the question pose3d by the OP.....No. The colours are fixed.

The way CURA shows which layers/depositions are caused by which processes (walls, floors, support, etc) would help in decoding review issues before printing.
It would be a nice option on the proview screen along with the speed-color method already in use... perhaps a simple radio button...
SMOP.

Just to make sure you know, you can already do that by choosing the "feature type" option for the preview coloring. It uses a different color for perimeters, infill, supports, ceilings, etc.
