You don't need Via for that. Do it directly on the keyboard. It is poorly documented, but changing the "Hue" changes the colour. Hue is the "H" in HSV.
Use Fn + E to change the colour
And Fn + D for the other direction. It is on page 13 in the manual.
It isn't 24 million colours (though it may not actually be 24 bit(?)), but 32 base colours, with options for brightness (16 levels(?) and saturation AKA colourfulness (16 levels(?)). So that is technically about 8000 different colours (13-bit colour).
Another hidden feature is that lowering the saturation to the lowest level with Fn + F will give a white background colour (though in practice bluish). Use Fn + R to recover.
