If you look at some of our mature and heavilty tested "standard" drivers such as ps.c and xwin.c you will see that this is not entirely standardised. I don't think it practically matters since in plplot curcolor is always set appropriately before plP_state is called with PLSTATE_COLOR0 or PLSTATE_COLOR1.
The consensus seems to lean towards using curcolor, so I would do that. The state code only matters for buffering of plot commands (e.g. as used by plreplot). Current not all features are correctly buffered. For example none of the buffering of colour information stores the transparency. We are aware this is an area that needs some work, but currently no-one has stepped forward to take this on. This would also include looking at the plmeta driver.
