I don't think anyone suggested (or has ever implemented?) coloring of external
links. They only change color based on your browser settings, for
clicked/unclicked links (essentially).

Stubs are colored based on byte-count, not whether they're tagged-as-a-stub.
You can change the byte-count in your [[special:preferences]], under
"Appearance->Threshold for stub link formatting (bytes):[dropdownmenu]"

Agreed that only redlinks are crucial. 

For disambig links, possibly the new Property system can help?

For anything more complex than that, Anomie's Linkclassifier code might be
useful/insightful. 300+ users have it installed. I recommend the "run on
demand" version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anomie/linkclassifier
