Both. Changing the color in the DDS to anything besides green auto changes to green in game. Dot is not on the DDS to begin with it's just "there" If you look at the meshes for the reflex sights in Nifskope, there are 2 reticles that extend out past the reflex sight which are what you are actually seeing, there isn't actual reticles on the piece of glass. What I'm thinking you did was change the DDS for only one of them, perhaps the rear one that is always there, the front fades away when you are moving to give you that effect of, blurring maybe idk what they were going for. So instead of deleting it, find that dds file and replace it as well to keep the same feel. As far as changing the color goes I'm not entirely sure what the deal is, might be similar to changing the color of power armor hud, you could look into that. *Edit. Btw if you ever get into changing laser rifle reflex those have like 6 meshes for just the one reticle.
