Thanks, I'll search some way to minimize the impact of forced loading of
color.sty along with the idea Jean proposed.

The links to the old archives of AUCTeX-related ML listed on
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/mailing-lists.html
are all dead (dir.gmane.org is not respoding), so it seems impossible to
search in these old archives...
In addition, the gmane links to the current ML are also dead.
