Have you looked at the price difference between B&W and 4 colour
printing? For this specific usage --- hearts and diamonds in red ---  is
it worth the roughly six cents per page price difference?

For ebook formats (PDF, epub, mobi, fb2, etc) the major issue with
colour is that most e-ink screens don't display them properly. For
non-e-ink devices, colour is rendered correctly. As such, colouring
hearts and diamonds in red is a non-issue.

The organization that hired you to write the material is the publisher.
As such, what is needed is a printer, not a publisher.

Personally, for POD I'd rather go with Ingram Spark for non-Amazon
sales, holding off on CreateSpace until Amazon's non-stocking policy
makes using it imperative. On the flipside, IngramSpark mandates that
one knows exactly what one is doing, whilst CreateSpace mandates that
one be utterly clueless.
