Mod: Remove "Stone/Steel" color from Stoneskin Spell?

Hello all,
I'm trying to see if anyone's ever created a mod that makes it so that your mage doesn't change color when he/she casts stoneskin to that steel-grey and keep his normal colors?
I recall there was a big mod that did it, but you couldn't just get the stoneskin - you had to take the whole mod and it was extensive.
Anyone know of a mod that just changes stoneskin or includes it as a stand-alone option?

In essence, the way this was done in vanilla BG was by use of ToBEx, which altered the exe file to remove the colour change associated with stoneskin (which is why you needed the base ToBEx to get the stoneskin part). EEex has made this -- and a lot of other things that were out of reach for many years -- possible for the enhanced editions as well, but the way of utilizing it is a bit more complicated.
Edit: The attached tweak is for v2.5 games. A v2.6 version can be found here.
And now it is. Thanks!
@Bubb you are my hero, thanks!
@Bubb Amazing!! I've been searching for this for a long time. One question: Will this work with EET?
I use it with EET and it works fine.
Bit of a necro, but I've had some people express interest in an updated tweak that works with v2.6.
The attached version is compatible with v2.6 BG:EE, BG2:EE, and IWD:EE on Windows and Linux, (+macOS granted you have SIP disabled, though I'm not recommending you turn off that security feature just to install this patch).
Edit: Fixed zip.
I've been using the 2.5 tweak but I have just updated to 2.6 and tried downloading the new version but I can get the file to unzip on a Mac. Is that because I need to disable SIP to install it?
As for SIP, it's unrelated to that issue, but I did have to disable it on my Mac to prevent the game from being killed by the OS.
Thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it. I will download it now and give it another go.
Edit: It installed fine using the Mac Weidu launcher and I didn't have to adjust any security settings
I simply can no longer imagine playing Baldur's Gate without this mod. Please know, this is deeply appreciated!
I installed the mod but I ran into a problem: the game crashed when Firebead cast Protection from Evil on the charname in Candlekeep (it also crashed when my paladin charname cast Protection from Evil on himself). I am playing EET and I have got several mods installed but this was definitely the one that caused the problem since it only started once I had installed the mod and it went away when I removed it.
