Sorry, no.  First, because it will not behave differently from just
using egetenv to begin with.  More importantly, I don't think we want
to have such different color capabilities on different frames in the
same Emacs session, that will cause many problems we don't want to
touch with a 3-mile pole.

The fix is easy: set the variable before starting Emacs, so why should
we jump through hoops here?
