Well - if you are already that far, the rest is just child's play with pure
CSS - so no TYPO3 problem at all.
Since it's just about another look for the "active" pages, TYPo3 doesn't
even have to "know" their item state.

All you need are unique identifiers for your "about XXX pages" pages, so you
can style them accordingly:

#blue #aboutbluepages {
    color:#0000FF;
}

#green #aboutgreenpages {
    color:#00FF00;
}

#red #aboutredpages {
    color:#FF0000;
}

You can use almost any field of the pages table to assign such an identifier
during generation of the menu.
The following example is using the nav_title:

1 = TMENU
1 {
    wrap = <ul>
    NO = 1
    NO {
        allWrap.dataWrap = <li id="{field:nav_title}">
        wrapItemAndSub = |</li>
    }
}

That's it.
