I don't think you can, unless you are writing to SDE. Neither Geodatabase nor Shape store color information.

 

 

You could always write the value of the format attribute fme_color to a user attribute in the output. That way you would have a record of it in your data and could maybe use that to color features in ArcGIS?

Yes.

 

 

If you wish to standardise the colours between CAD and ArcGIS (Shape and GeoDatabase) layers, you will unfortunately need to set the colours twice.
