I spy with my little eye ... something beginning with "Magnetron":

Code:

[AudioVisual]
MagnaBeamColor=255,200,255 ; Magnetron's zap ray color, in 24-bit RGB

If that doesn't work (never tried to change it myself), you can't.

its hardcoded and that code that DCoder mentioned is actually residual code which WW left in according to PD ROFL to that.

The MagnaBeam must have been planned to be something similar to the RadBeam or the RadEruption in beta stages, cause the color is actually used for beams when they're neither RadBeams nor RadEruptions.

That part of code isn't ever executed, though.
Instead, they decided to use the so-called "Wave" class which is also responsible for Sonic Beams and the TS lasers.
...and we all know that the colors of these are hardcoded.
