The SE/30 is every bit as much of a color machine as a Mac II.  In other
words, it has Color Quickdraw built into ROM, and in each cases you must 
purchase a separate color monitor and video card to display color.  The 
only difference is that the SE/30 comes with a "free" 9-inch built-in 
monochrome monitor.  

Many if not most third-party developers have SE/30 versions of their
video cards to go with their color monitors.  The most notable exception
is of course Apple.  There are third-party video cards available to
work with Apple's color monitor, though, including a 24-bit color card
from RasterOps.
