Exactly what do you mean by color?  I believe there are two types - actual
three color LCD's like is used in a laptop, and a regular grey/clear LCD
over a backlight, with filters that produce colors.  This is what you see in
a lot of fancy car radios now.

I can tell you that sourcing LCD's and drivers is a headache.  Samsung has
dropped all their small static LCD driver chips.  The only sources I can
find are Philip$, Holtek, and OKI.  The last two are hard to get good
info/support from, in my experience. Microchip's one entry into the field is
three times too expensive, and they are not interested in introducing any
more.

A real combo cheap microprocessor/LCD driver would be a boon to microchip.
They are losing business to Taiwan mfr's that have these things.
