setColor() undefined for the type PotionMeta

I'm trying to spawn in this custom potion, but I can't change its color:

Code:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.POTION, 1);
PotionMeta meta = (PotionMeta) item.getItemMeta();
PotionEffect potion = new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 2700, 0);
meta.addCustomEffect(potion, true);
meta.setColor(Color.AQUA);                     // This is where the problem lies
meta.setDisplayName("§cSpeedy Potion");
item.setItemMeta(meta);
world.dropItemNaturally(loc, item);

Eclipse gives me the error "The method setColor(Color) is undefined for the type PotionMeta", which I don't get because it should be a defined method.

I imported org.bukkit.inventory.meta.PotionMeta

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

EDIT: Should mention this is for Bukkit 1.8.8

 

https://helpch.at/docs/1.8.8/
1.8.8 PotionMeta does not have the setColor method.

 

I think the version is outdated and lacks of setColor() method.

 

Ah didn't realize thank you. Is there an alternative method to use instead? I couldn't seem to find anything on that website but there's gotta be a way to set the potion to the default colors right?

 

I don't know if minecraft supported custom colors for potions back in 1.8, you'd have to look that up, but if it did, then there is probably a way to do it using NMS code.

 

@Alexcamostyle @Machine Maker I don't think that's a possibility in earlier versions but, i believe you can work around it by making another potion (with your chosen color) with a custom name and lore.
