I've had a chance to talk to Marc Okrand recently and he explained it to me. These are my own words describing the situation.
He agreed that his wording was bit confusing. KGT is correct saying that there is no noun for color in the sense of "What color is that?" or "Red is a nice color." The new word {qalmuS} is used to distinguish the colorfulness of pictures, for instance. He pointed at a color photograph and said "That one has color" and then at a black'n'white photo and said "that one has not."
Aha, that's a useful explanation. Thank you!
