--- Comment #1 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> ---
They already are! (Or rather can be.) I implemented a way to color them in
066283dde745fcc372ffab8d753962858813d032 (the links on the editing surface now
have a .mw-disambig class that can be styled with user/site CSS). I also did
the same functionality in the MW parser
(8cc16d021410f49fa12a2f35c97cdac51adf4380, this is not rolled out yet).

I'm not sure if we want to actually color them. Colors can be
distracting/confusing, especially if it's not clear what they mean. MediaWiki
has been providing a .mw-redirect CSS class in parser output for years and it
was never styled in any way, as far as I know. (Some special pages mark
redirects with italics, though.)

For the record, such coloring functionality has sometimes been implemented by
gadgets. pl.wp has a opt-in gadget to color redirects green and disambigs
maroon and add a form to the page to selectively correct the links; ru.wp has
some tool enabled for everyone that gives disambigs pink background with red
outline (or had, last time I checked). I am not aware of any such thing on the
English Wikipedia (but I'd be love to learn about it if it exists).
