wait, why can it see color? if this algorithm is based on the speed of light traveling (similar to ultrasonic), I would think it won't show color? the resulting image shows the printed 1,2,3 on that paper.

is that because light reflects differently across the same paper due to different colors (black vs. white)?

It uses the time of arrival to determine where a particular reflection came from, but it can also observe the intensity of that reflection to determine reflectivity.

You could easily generate a colour image by using a red, green and blue laser sequentially. But... they haven't done that. It's all black and white so I don't know why you think it can see colour?

I think the mouseover text on the color picture is a mistake. The article labels the blurry grayscale image as a reconstruction and the color image as a regular image.

The two panels in the README are a single image, which is why they share the mouseover text.

Not color, but reflectivity.
