Last time I looked the glyphs in colored fonts are bitmap images anyway, so
you might just to create a set of images from the font and use them, or you
might take the right characters from a regular vector font and use XeTeX's
regular font color mechanism to make the red ones appear red, perhaps

I'll add something:
The new OpenType extensions (variable CFF2, variable TTF, color SVG, color
COLR, color sbix, color CBDT) are not supported natively in PDF or
PostScript.
So when a printer driver creates the PDF/PS, it needs to convert the font
to something.
Generally there are two scenarios
Thanks Jonathan,
Absolutely correct.
Ross's link covers the previously competing technologies for this (which
are still around), and much the same can apply to any of them depending on
how things are processed right through to end product.

now have a new problem however — LuaHbTeX does not form ligatures

You use harf mode, and so you should use luahbtex not luatex.
(lualatex uses luahbtex as engine by default).

Hallo Ross —
The colour doesn’t show in Phil’s example PDF, neither in Adobe’s
Illustrator, nor Acrobat Pro,
despite Adobe being one of the instigators of this font format.
So presumably the font isn’t installed correctly into the PDF.
Yes, I'd agree with that.
