Most of the colored CF weaves you see are a hybrid Carbon/Kevlar material....The color is in the cloth, not the epoxy pigment or a painted on coloring... You'd have to cut and overlay materials based on my experience in working with this stuff..2x2 twill is hard to work with as it's a very "loose" fabric. It can be done...Would just take a lot of care and time to set up right in the mold..
