Can I send a color fax to fax numbers not utilizing FAX.PLUS?

No, it’s not possible. The reason is that, while there is a standard called ITU-T30e (formally ITU-T Recommendation T.30) for faxing in color; unfortunately, it is not widely supported, so many of the color fax machines can only fax in color to machines from the same manufacturer. That is why nearly all fax machines are still transmitting fax in black and white.
