How can I change the emoticon colors on Whatsapp?

[AC Question]

whatsapp emoticon colour change

I discovered the different 'racially diverse' colours on whatsapp emoticons the other day and played about with them but now they're stuck on the first one I chose and I can't change them?

You need to press and hold the emoticon, and that will open a small popup with all the available colors for it.
