As long as you’ve got the tween going, it’s just a matter of setting the color

select the first keyframe in the motion tween,  
select the object on the stage  
in the “effects” panel, choose advanced, or tint… either one will work but they have slightly differing effects.

select the next keyframe on the timeline,  
select the object on the stage again  
in the effects panel, choose another color

the color should then transition through from one color to the other.
