Which Complications Support TextProvider Tint Color?

As I have been digging deeper into WatchKit and ClockKit for Air Lookout, I've had a hard time figuring out which watch complications support a tint color from CLKTextProvider.

I've made a small table below for reference.

Complication FamilyText Provider Tint Color?

Utilitarian Small FlatNo
Utilitarian LargeNo

Graphic RectangularYes

1: Tint color is only supported if the watch face is configured to be multi-color by the user.

2: Tint color is not supported in the bezel text, but is supported within the gauge complication just as it is for Graphic Circular.
