I’ve just run into this problem and it’s quite frustrating. I’m switching over from Photoshop and Sketch and Guides are an important part of my workflow especially both during the design process and also when I’m developing my designs.

Yes this would be nice to have the ability to change colour of the guides and all guides on a page not just individual, global change for a project. I still can’t see a way too do this, please please implement this
