Why do you want to do this?
In general, coloring parts of a document in predefined colors is a bad
thing to want. Users with a different color theme than yours will have
trouble reading the document.
A better direction is to define a major mode for your class of
documents, a few faces, and fontification rules that find fragments
your users would want colored and apply those faces. The user will be
able to customize the faces to their liking.
