Answer 1

You would need to set the message you send into a variable and then edit that message.

  let timed = "10s"
  const tests = new Discord.RichEmbed()
  .setTitle("tets")
  .setColor('#000000')

  const res = await message.channel.send(tests);
  setTimeout(function(){
     tests.setColor('#5e4242');
     res.edit(tests);
  }, ms(timed));

Should also note, await only works in an async function
