No, color-theme is not at all deprecated. It has never been part of GNU Emacs,
so GNU Emacs cannot deprecate it. It is a third-party library, color-theme.el,
and it is still available AFAIK.
What is unfortunate is that GNU Emacs adopted a name, "custom theme", that is so
close to "color theme", which already has a certain following.
Every few weeks someone posts here with questions that involve confusion between
the two.
(Emacs has had "custom themes" for a long time, but until Emacs 24 they had
nothing to do with colors (as in "color theme"). It is the combination of Emacs
24 adopting something similar to what color-theme.el offers plus its inclusion
of that new feature in the grab bag called "custom themes" that seems to lead to
the confusion.)
