There are sensors that can differentiate color. I don't believe that they use IR however.

Sparkfun has one but since the 'free day' is under way it is very difficult to get onto their web site (everyone wants free stuff).
Should be ok later today.

Here's the links:

IR by definition can't detect colors. But you could put color filters over visible-light sensors.
