It is an improper term but yes it is cache coloring functionality. The SPARCCenter2000 was built on two XD-busses (the main system-buss) with all CPU-cards connected to both busses and with equal access to memory for every card (cpu cards can be memory only, with cpus and memory or only cpus.) The memory is striped in 256-bytes stripes on the 2 XD-busses which means that that coloring stuff is even more important.
