The color of star ratings can be customized from the settings page.

Including information about the review (author name, creation time, excerpt, rating), along with the threaded replies / comments for each review (the WPSSO JSON Premium add-on is required for the optional JSON-LD markup).
No templates to modify or update!
Simply activate / deactivate the plugin to enable / disable the addition of ratings and reviews.
