Hi Jos'h,
Add the following to your Emacs config,
;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
(org-add-link-type
"color"
(lambda (path)
(message (concat "color "
(progn (add-text-properties
0 (length path)
(list 'face `((t (:foreground ,path))))
path) path))))
(lambda (path desc format)
(cond
((eq format 'html)
(format "<span style=\"color:%s;\">%s</span>" path desc))
((eq format 'latex)
(format "{\\color{%s}%s}" path desc)))))
and then you can use [[color:red][in red]] for colored export.
Best,
