It’s a black and white camera so you can’t get a color image from it without some trickery.

One thing you could try is using a red, green and blue filter in front of the camera lens. Snap a picture with one of the three filters in place, then change filters, snap another pic, and then combine the three images in software later on. That or use red, blue and green lights on what you’re imaging and combine the images.

You will need to ask Himax about that, we only know how to make the camera work in monochrome mode.
