There is none. There isn’t even any Unicode character that you could reasonably use to symbolize change of color.

Unicode encodes characters, not glyphs. Unicode characters have no inherent color (their color will be set by the rendering engine, possibly under the control of a style sheet, for example), except for some emoji characters in a sense. And glyphs normally have no inherent color either.

Generally, you should not expect icons to be encoded as characters in Unicode. Some are, for various reasons, but mostly an icon is a specific graphic appearance and lacks the normal “characterhood” of a Unicode character – normally a character is expected to have different shapes in different fonts.

A suitable icon for changing color is one that contains a few colors. E.g., a circle split in three or four segments, each with distinguishably different color. It’s a job for an image, not for a character.

I don't thing there is one. Most Win8 chars you can find in Segoe UI Symbol font, which is shipped with Windows 8 (the one from Win7 is a little different). You can download and embed it into your application.

From Segoe UI Symbol you can use the character (Unicode hex - E186) and display it inside an Ellipse.
