Okay, sure you may SAY it's a colour supplement, but say for example that, instead of browsing h2g2 on my regular computer, I was using my old MONOCHROME (aka black and white) Mac Classic to surf the web. Then the supplement wouldn't really be colour, would it?
Of course, this same argument could be put toward any other paper featuring a colour supplement if you replace "Mac Classic" with a colourblind person...

Well you could say that about anything. The Jon Pertwee episodes of Doctor Who were broadcast in colour, but a lot of people saw them in Black and White, because they had B&W TV's. They could still say they were in colour though...

Thanks Deus 
- I worked my butt off sorting this out and you're being pedantic about the facts?
It's a figure of speech for goodness sake.
