Here is a quick and dirty solution, don't know how far it is useful to
you. Anyway color.4ht needs a lot of rework, till then:

<-------- Begin kevin.tex ---------->

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

\section{Test!}
\makeatletter
 \let\savecolor\color
 \NewConfigure{color}[2]{\def\a at color{#1}\def\b at color{#2}}
 \def\@@tmp#1{\a at color#1\b at color\savecolor{#1}\aftergroup\endspan}
 \let\color\@@tmp
 \def\endspan{\Tg</span>}
 \Configure{color}{\HCode{<span style="color:}}{\HCode{;">}}
\makeatother

 Hello {\bf black}, {\color{red}red} and {\color{blue}blue}.

\end{document}

<-------- End kevin.tex ---------->

Here is the output:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="kevin.css">
</head>

<body>
  <h3 class="sectionHead"><span class="titlemark">1</span> <a id=
  "x1-10001" name="x1-10001"></a>Test!</h3><!--l. 16-->

  <p class="noindent">Hello <span class="cmbx-10">black</span>,
  <span style="color:red;">red</span> and <span style=
  "color:blue;">blue</span>.</p>
</body>
</html>
