Anyway, the %(color) is really meant to be displayed on-screen, and the quoting is really meant to feed the value to another program, so I can hardly imagine a use-case where you would want both.

But the current behavior seems fine to me: the color escape sequence is quoted, which is good. For example, you can

x=$(git for-each-ref --shell --format="nocolor%(color:green)%(refname)" | head -n 1) sh -c "echo $x"

it will actually display "nocolor" without color, then a green refname. I'm not sure the quoting is really necessary, but it doesn't harm and it makes sense since the escape sequence contains a '[' which is a shell metacharacter.
