Does this amazing new fork of a fork have colored hiking trails as this "dying" Organic Maps?

I know the answer, tried both, I will let myself out...

No, because that part of OM is closed source, one of the main reasons for the fork!

It’s coming though: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/pulls/4111

It is already implemented and it works like a charm.

I have been using it to explore trails and 4WD tracks, just enabled it on the map at the top left corner.

You will see Outdoors which enables the trails/4WD tracks, Contour Lines and Subway.

Display of marked hiking/cycling routes is a different feature from display of trails and tracks. I.e. a marked route is usually a well-known and/or official one and often quite long (sometimes international even) route which goes through many different trails and tracks and even some roads etc.

And - as it had been mentioned above already - its coming to CoMaps too.

Yes, CoMaps has it and I used it this weekend.

Trails and 4WD tracks have a distinctive colour semi-continue lines. I am using exactly that to discover new places and it has been awesome.
