I want to use a diamond-shaped glyph instead of a bullet, and I want to
use color.
Am I right in guessing you are a student, Pat? Cause I am going into lecture mode (ignore if you are an experienced designer).
What is the reason for the bullet? If you select an unusual shape and/or color, you are drawing attention to the bullet, beyond what it already demands. Is there a reason for this? Is the glyph used more important than the words that follow it? Is there some reason you want to pull the eye to the bullets, and away from other things on the page?
These are the kinds of questions that an experienced designer asks at every phase of the job. On some occasions they will say yes to them, and use the color or special glyph. More often they will not.
