I ran my VIN for a Chevy Bolt through the decoder at vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov (and again through the one at driving-tests.org). It has all sorts of details, including manufacturing location, battery size, and that the headlights are LED. But nowhere on the list is the color.
There may be circumstances where the color is part of it, but it’s absolutely not standard. Try it yourself.
Color is absolutely part of VIN.
But your point stands.
