Hmmm. Sounds like we need to investigate a little. The file *is*
present in tetex 1.0.7:

[pd at butterfly R]$ rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf/pdftex/plain/misc/pdfcolor.tex
tetex-1.0.7-15

The file itself has a bunch of color definition, as in

\def\cmykGreenYellow{0.15 0 0.69 0}
\def\cmykYellow{0 0 1 0}
...
\def\GreenYellow{\pdfsetcolor{\cmykGreenYellow}}
\def\Yellow{\pdfsetcolor{\cmykYellow}}
...

and the following stuff at the end:

\def\pdfsetcolor#1{\pdfliteral{#1 k}}
\def\setcolor#1{\mark{#1}\pdfsetcolor{#1}}

\pdfoutput=1
\def\maincolor{\cmykBlack}
\pdfsetcolor{\maincolor}

\def\makefootline{
    \baselineskip24pt
    \line{\pdfsetcolor{\maincolor}\the\footline}}

\def\makeheadline{%
    \edef\M{\topmark}
    \ifx\M\empty\let\M=\maincolor\fi
    \vbox to 0pt{\vskip-22.5pt
        \line{\vbox to8.5pt{}%
        \pdfsetcolor{\maincolor}\the\headline\pdfsetcolor{\M}}\vss}%
    \nointerlineskip}


You might want to investigate whether that code got migrated to other
parts of pdftex...
