is most of it color or b&w?

The DVD is completely in B&W, I don't believe any color footage exists of the film anymore, sadly.

Yes, it was said to be beautiful in color, but all that survives are some publicity photos taken on the set.

Are there any efforts underway to recolorize it?

No colour footage ever existed, it was a live broadcast. In fact for many years it was believed that no copy existed at all (which is one of the reasons why the 1965 remake was made).

Only the live broadcast in 1957 was in color (and only if you had a color television in which to view it). The kinescope recorded for posterity was black-and-white. It was not recorded in color until the next production with Lesley Ann Warren in 1964, and that was on videotape.
