If you're on a tight budget (as I am), I would suggest ProWrite and
ProScript.  ProWrite is a MacWrite clone with added feaures (like color,
importing graphics, etc).  ProScript is an add-on package that converts
IFF Text files (which ProWrite uses) to PostScript.  The manual for
ProScript suggests that its suppots Color PostScript, but I
haven't called to verify this yet.

I haven't used it to death, but I've done a few things on it and they came out
very nice.

Plus, the company's in Austin, Tx.  Gotta support the home team, ya know?
