thank you, roman and alexandre, for the pointers!
it seems, the best option is to wait, till the discussion alexandre referenced (https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/711) comes to fruition. purr data has implemented such a color picker for arrays, so that would be the second best option. i looked into Jmmmp multiarray, but i seemed to be better suited at displaying static waveforms. maybe i overlooked something.
i am (ab)using pd as an eight channel oszilloscope. things get messy pretty fast without colors.

using 4 superimposed arrays to show different waveforms (e.g. phase differences), i was wondering, if there is a way to assign a unique color to each array, to visually better separate the waveforms. i found a discussion "[PD] Array Enhancements" about that (and other things, like "Hide Array name” - still not working) from 2009 [1] and another one "[PD] colored arrays?” from 2007 [2], but no tangible result - or i missed that, then sorry!
As someone mentioned in one of the other threads, you could achieve colored array displays with data structures.
An example is here: https://www.netpd.org/fl-hishv.png
Probably much closer to what you actually need is the [multiarray] from the jmmmp library. It's in Deken.
