I have been meaning to write a function to do just that, but have not
found the time. In the mean time, only 3-D graphics have the
ColorFunction option. If you want to plot points with control over the
colors you will have to do it with primitives. Start with the FullForm
of your graphics expression and you will see its format in terms of
graphics primitives:
FullForm[ ListPlot[{{1,2},{1,3},{2,2}}]]
returns, in part:
Graphics[List[Point[List[1,2]],Point[List[1,3]],Point[List[2,2]]],
blah, blah,blah]
Every expression Point[List[x,y]] needs to be replaced with an
expression List[colordirective,Point[List[x,y]]] which can be a
RGBColor, Hue, etc. I think this can be most efficiently done with a
MapThread construct.
