Not sure if xetex can do colour fonts currently, You can always experiment with luatex which gets this if using harfbuzz

OK, thanks David.  I will see if LuaTeX can handle my existing work on the book (which of course assumed plain XeTeX), and if it can, I will switch to LuaTeX for this project.  But do you know how one does the plain LuaTeX equivalent of :

\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\chess[Renderer=HarfBuzz]{BabelStoneXiangqiColour.ttf}

I /really/ don't want to have to use packages unnecessarily.
