Why is the turtlebot gazebo kinect not in color?

I noticed that the kinect sensor in turtlebot_gazebo (in the unstable release) produces only black and white images. The gazebo.urdf.xacro file looks like it is supposed to produce color. Also, gazebo_ros_openni_kinect.cpp looks like it should be producing color. Are there plans to get the kinect gazebo working in color soon?

It actually is in color, it just turns the pixels that are beyond the maximum depth of the kinect sensor to a gray color.
