OK, I've just re-read the relevant part of section _Extended Color
Support_ ...

It's definitely possible that you are right: the correct fix could be

s/foo.!50!white!25!black/foo.!25!white!25!black/

since, maybe, the strings are appended to the file-name one after the
other, as soon as the various nested environments are entered.

But I am not sure, since, although it indeed says "If you nest
colormixin environments, the different mix-ins are all appended", as
you point out, it does not however explicitly says in which order they
are appended (from the outermost to the innermost environment or the
other way around?).

I suggest you ask the upstream author (Till Tantau), in order to be
sure.
You were about to forward the typo fix to him anyway, weren't you?  ;-)
