I would like to change my seatbelt for a different color that matches the exterior.

Now I looked up if universal seatbelt would do the trick. A garage next to me sells and installs seatbelts in different colors and they use universal seatbelts.

My question with modern cars is, is it safe and okay to change the seatbelt or does the Mustang has some extra safety features that only work with OEM seatbelts?

The seat belt system has a pretensioner system with a pyrotechnic charge that ignites in the event of an accident. That is tied into the vehicle's computer, so if it is disconnected I expect you will receive a warning on the restraint system and you will be giving up the safety feature of the pretensioner.
