Some original hand-painted prints of Opus 1 were preserved, and 16mm
prints from these are still in circulation today.
When you see the 16mm prints projected you can see the hand-painted
color bleed beyond the edges of the white shapes (unlike in those
youtube videos). Later Moritz himself provided new color restorations
of Opus 1 and/or Ballet Mecanique, but I always prefered the
unrestored versions.
Have you not seen the prints projected?

Any leads you might have regarding the use and preservation of color
in Ruttmann's films or in early abstract films in general will be
greatly appreciated.
