Go to the Gear box > Settings > Stars. You can now add in different colored stars, for 1*, 2* and so on. If you make 2* red, then when you go back to your inbox and star a message it will still go yellow for 1*. But then, you can click for a second time and it will turn red!
Keep going so you can add in a selection of colors and then search your inbox for colored stars later. If you want to search for 2* messages that are red, go to the search bar and type in: has:red-star This will bring up any emails with red stars on them.
