You need to store the color field as multi valued stored field. You have to do pagination manually. If you worried, then use database. Have a table with Product Name and Color. You could retrieve data with pagination.
Still if you want to achieve it via Solr. Have a separate record for every product and color. ProductName, Color, RecordType. Since Solr is NoSQL, you could have different fields and not all records should have all the fields. You could store different type of document. Filter the record by its type.
