Hi All,
Remember those nickel sized, 
blue reflectors, for hot rods,
folks set into their tail lights.
I've got a pair. Are they legal?
best,
John C...

Couldnąt find anything for colorado and then discovered that there  is no law
for "passive" and is defaulted to "active" warning/signaling  devices.

From what I was told...
Red on front is forbidden,
green  is restricted for street signage.
Blue is restricted to certain emergency  types
Yellow on sides is okay
Red is for the rear and in some cases the  rear wraps around a little bit.

How this is defined is also up to the  local jurisdictions as well.  Put on a
set of those colored light  windshield washer things and drive around the
denver metro area and you  will get many different definitions as you cross
the various  jurisdictions.  Because there is no really set code you will get
as  many definitions as jurisdictions.
