I'm thinking about to change the notification LED on my Jolla C, with a multicolor LED. Does anyone has an idea, if this works, I mean to have different notification colors afterwards, or does it depend on other hardware as well?

I was wondering about the same!
Unfortunately I have not found any schematic available for the device, but!
There is a leaked confidential schematic available on the FCC's website from a Qualcomm reference design which looks pretty similar to the device: https://fccid.io/pdf.php?id=2969258
On the lower right part of the pg. 27 you can see how they implemented the Breathe LED.
Qualcomm folks was funny, they used a PN for the I2C LED driver which is hardly known by the google. But with some Google-fu it could be identified as an 31FL3191 from ISSI. http://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/31FL3191.pdf
However the by listing the I2C devices an aw2013 is the most LED driver looking device which should be an RGB driver.

Good news and bad news: I have took apart my Aqua fish, to check the lower PCB. The I2C LED driver is not installed on the bottom PCB but on the main board under some of the metal caps. Only the LED is populated there and some passives for filtering I think:
In fact using this method they only need to pull 1 wire through for the LED between the main and the bottom PCB. To move the LED driver to the bottom board they would minimally would have to pull I2C (2 wires), heartbeat (1 wire), and power (1 wire). I think safe to assume that GND is available on the bottom board.

I don't think it would be possible, a multicolor led would need 4 instead of 2 power lines on the PCB, not to speak about circuits to control it. And if not planned from the beginning, I doubt you can add those things.
