Color Indicator Rules Insight

Regarding color indicators: I think what he meant by Crystal Spray being unable to affect certain cards is that it can't change Kobolds of Kher Keep to Blue or Dryad Arbor to Red because they use a color indicator now rather than have their color due to rules text. I learned this the hard way when someone Natural Ordered sacrificing their Dryad Arbor with Blood Moon out. Blood Moon used to make Dryad Arbor colorless since it removed the "is green" rules text.

The rules didn’t actually let you change it before the color indicator although many did not realize this.

Color Indicators Role

Is the addition of color indicators a form of functional errata, since they're no longer affected by cards like Crystal Spray?

No, it is just a new way to display old information.
