Yes indeed, there is one out called (interestingly enough) ColorRisk.
I've seen it in action on a color Mac (very nice!), and it play very well.
Unfortunately, there's no real difference between the new version and the
older ones except for the color enhancements.

The major user groups like BMUG and BCS should have copies for distribution,
or maybe some kind soul could post it in comp.binaries.mac for those people
who want it.  I'd like to, but it's 400K for just the game itself (not
counting the optional color icon ResEfiles), and I don't have the
know-how to do it.  Anybody want to try it?
