It might not work. Its kind of difficult to mod the game to do something that the devs didn't program in.

Go take a look. Maybe you can.

I'm pretty sure that the color is determined by the 'Category' of the tech, and that the actual colors used (as well as the categories available) are hardcoded.

It'll get easier once TA is released with its dedicated tech-tree editor.
