NX-01 deflector color?

Hello,
Does the forward deflector on the NX-01 light up only blue.......i.e. does it change colors as the 1701 and/or 1701A, depending if at impulse or warp drive......or does it remain blue regardless of impulse or warp?
Thanks for any assistance. Have a good weekend.

I only ever saw it in blue on screen. I always thought that the gold/amber color on the Refit was how it looked when powered down. That would have been light reflecting off of the dish. When it's powered up, it glows with it's own internal power.

I could be wrong though.

nx-01 was on or off as far as the deflector dish, like the enterprise-d

If you look at the refit startup sequence in STMP and TWOK and other footage you can see that the color of the refector dish when powered down is a metalic grey color with maybe a bit of light blue in it. no lights.
When the ship starts up it is lit up from inside with amber/gold/copper and when impulse engines or warp drive are engaged it is lit up from inside with a light blue source and an extra light blue ring is lit around it.

As far as i know the deflector of the NX-01 only glows blue (when on)
