You can apply the color the paragraph mark at the end of the numbere item. Here is the result (with nonprinting marks displayed):

Thanks but that doesn't seem to work for me in Word 2013.

It appears that you have changed the font of the list itself, for example by selecting the bullets and changing their color. Once you have done that, the trick I suggested won't work. You will have to recreate the bullet list from start.

Edit: I made a new document and tried it and it works. I need to figure out how to cleanse my document of this scourge of my own creation.

I thought that too and tested it but alas, my torment endures:

Create a new bulleted style with your "cleaned up" list and then apply it to text. I'm afraid that doing so will be a manual task, though. Then apply colors to the paragraph mark as required (once again a manual task).
