    I maintain several useful Zsh plugins: * zsh-autocomplete lists completions as you type and adds lots of additional completion features. * zsh-edit adds various handy keyboard shortcuts and a clipboard viewer. * zsh-hist adds commands and keyboard shortcuts for you quickly fixing or deleting entries from your command history. * Z Colors uses your $LS_COLORS to automatically generate a coherent color scheme for Zsh completions and Git output.

    That will color file completions, yes, but nothing else. If you want to have colors in the rest of your completions, too, try my Z Colors plugin.
