The Modular watch face on the Apple Watch allows you to change the color of the time and the complications to one color of your choice. However, now a “Multicolor” option is available that makes the time and each complication on the watch face have a different color.

Displaying multiple colors on the Modular watch face is easy. Press the digital crown until you return to the watch face and then force touch on the watch.
