Intriguing, but (as he dons his usual devil's advocate costume) is that
4-bit color or 8-bit color or will it matter? After all, you can buy a
color version of SimCity, but it requires you to change the screen
depth, which is stupid. Any program that requires you to do this to
work is stupid (yes, I know about Switch-a-Roo and Launcher, but they
shouldn't be needed).
If, on the other hand, Colony in color works reasonably (MultiFinder
compatibility is required as well), I would consider buying it, even
if it's copy-protected.
