OK, I'll keep updating it here, in 'upstream' branch:
https://github.com/NalaGinrut/guile-colorized/tree/upstream
The 'upstream' branch won't guarantee an independent module to be used.

I was aimed to patch pretty-print for coloring. But I changed my mind
because an independent module is easy to develop and debug.
Anyway, I think it's nice to integrate it into pretty-print and
inner-debugger in the long term.

BTW, I added custom-color-scheme feature, then the users can define
their own color-scheme in '~/.guile'. As you suggested, they my define
the color for any data-type they like, they can pass their own
type-checker/colorize-method in. 
For a instance:
==========================~/.guile=============================
(use-modules (ice-9 colorized))
(add-color-scheme! 
  `(,(lambda (data) (> data 10000)) 'MY-LONG-NUMBER ,colorize 'BLUE))
=============================end===============================
And 10001 would be rendered as blue one.
