    New Guide and New Guide Layout are canvas guides without canvas in the name. If you are working with Artboards then you can add guides per artboard. As already mentioned you can also click inside ruler (Ctrl + R to display) and holding down mouse button drag guide to position it where you want.

    I'm pretty sure you can't for a specific guide. The only color control for guides is in Preferences> Guides, Grids & Slices. The categories are (a) Canvas guides, (b) Artboard guides, and (c) Smart guides.

    The new guide in the menu will create a new canvas guide by letting you enter in the exact position. You can also drag a new guide o to your canvas by having the rules turned on and dragging from the ruler.
