I don't think the definition of color would apply to illustrations, since the rule explicitly excludes black and white or shades of grey.

Also, according to the definition, color includes black and white. So for any illustrations, we can encode them "color", unless we give more precise descriptions such as black and white, or taupe and blue green. [Steven Arakawa] Regarding illustrations, 7.17.1.3: If the content of the resource is in colours other than black and white or shades of grey, record the presence of colour using an appropriate term. Disregard coloured matter outside the actual content of the resource (e.g., the border of a map).
