Hi Dark, That's definitely a later model console. I'm not sure which console you had, but it sounds like the Atari 7800 which could play both 2600 and 7800 games. I seem to recall my 7800 could change colors and stuff like that too.
The early Atari 2600 was way different from what you described. It was brown with a wood-grained appearance with several silver switches on top to change the number of players, to reset the game, and other things. Later versions were primarily black with a silver strip on the front and buttons instead of switches. Cheers!
