The current version 2.0 HINT file format does not support any color.
Color support is planed for future versions. Adding color support to the file format is not the difficult part. The design of primitives, that are flexible and can be integrated without too much effort into TeX and most importantly LaTeX is the challenging part. Just reproducing the PDF primitives is an option, but possibly not the best.
Here is a proposal for discussion:
\HINTbackground
\HINTforeground
Currently the manual does not specify what form of
\special
(if any) is supported for colouring the output. This would likely include details of any colour stack system available, whether stroke and non-stroke colour are supported separately, etc.
