and how do you explain that it chose on this example the blue instead of the red or white color at the top and bottom?

I don't know the specifics of how the collar designer works.

If I were to make one, I'd have you hand me the texture for the inner and outer faces and tell me a color number for the edges.

But, I could just as easily use a single pixel, or two, from the texture you hand me and stretch it to cover those edges with that tiny bit of the texture image instead of tinting it with color.

Or, I could have you hand me four textures, one for each face.

Or, I could do it in Mesh and have you hand me up to eight textures and/or colors.

There's so many ways to Skin This Cat

I think maybe that's the problem herre. With the collar maker you don't get to make selections about the inner and outer faces or the edges. You add a texture and it applies it only to the front face of the collar. Hence the confusion about how we can alter the edges without being allowed to or given the ability to edit the other edges/faces/etc. When using the collar maker you have only one way to skin the cat.
