You're probably watching Canopus rise, the second brightest star in the sky.

The flickering and colour changing is just caused by the atmposphere. If you were to look at the star after a few hours it should be a steady white colour - alhtough it still might flicker and twinkle as the atmosphere moves around overhead.
