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

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:

Probably much closer to what you actually need is the [multiarray] from
the jmmmp library. It's in Deken.
