I think I understand (I think) . Thank you both. What I'm doing is all in Lua, I'm just perusing the XML files to find the correct name of the thing I'm trying to color.

For example (using red for dramatic effect ):

for _, x in pairs({MinimapBorder, MiniMapMailBorder}) do
    if x:GetObjectType() == "Texture" then
        x:SetVertexColor(1, 0, 0)
    end
end

So if I wanted to color the tracking button border, would it be something like this:

for _, x in pairs({MinimapBorder, MiniMapMailBorder, MiniMapTracking:GetParent(border)}) do
    if x:GetObjectType() == "Texture" then
        x:SetVertexColor(1, 0, 0)
    end
end

(I've got something wrong there cuz that no worky.) Here's the part of Minimap.xml I'm looking at:

<Frame name="MiniMapTracking">
...
<Layer level="BORDER">
<Texture name="$parentBorder" urgency="5" file="Interface\Minimap\MiniMap-TrackingBorder">
