Colors of Simsig.

You can't change any of the colours, to a limited extent Developers can during production.

Not so long ago I requested that Track Circuit failure segments be given a different colour from actual trains, and received the same reply.

CTC's message is different because I assume he's thinking about the possibilities of simulating a different countries system.

There are three separate issues here.

(1) Can a simulation developer change the colours used? Yes, there are some 83 different colour references used in the core code, and each can be set (but only on a global basis, not differently for different layouts or anything like that).

(2) Can an end-user change the colours used? No. There's been no requests that I'm aware of for anything like this, and I'm not sure we'd want to do it anyway, though that's Geoff's call.

(3) Can SimSig distinguish between "track circuit occupied" and "track circuit failed"? The core code makes such a distinction, and simulation data can test this. This is occasionally used - for example, for simulating level crossing user behaviour or "train arrived" cameras - where a real signaller could tell the difference. But the display in a real signal box does not (and cannot) distinguish between them, and therefore neither does SimSig for most purposes.
