Yup - try Shapeways/iMaterialize/Ponoko etc. Full color is definitely possible in ceramic/sandstone.

At home, you're practically limited to two colors on most consumer plastic printers.

There is currently lots of activity in this area.

Some of what is happening:

Very Expensive: Full color sandstone/ceramic have been around for a while but is costly and generally not affordable at the consumer level.

Expensive: This paper 3D printer uses an inkjet printer to color each layer - 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping | Mcor Technologies (old $50k+ versions worked, new 15k versions due end of 2016)

Affordable: This printer purports to be able to do full color: Spectrom - Full-Color Desktop 3D Printer

Cheap: This box splices different colors into any consumer/plastic 3D printer to create multi color prints: Multi-Color 3D Printing (very new)

So it is very do-able and the space is changing very quickly.

My guess is that the MCOR line will be the first of the "good" home/school full color printers that don't require a huge amount of tinkering.
