They still haven't updated at JPL's website; the only color image so far posted is a tiny low-res thumbnail seen below:
Mission status:
MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2004
2145 GMT (4:45 p.m. EST)
Four of the Spirit rovers critical scientific instruments sailed through initial checkout operations and a fifth will be tested late this evening, officials said today. A 3D panorama shot by Spirit's low-resolution navigation cameras was unveiled today and a full-resolution, color mosaic showing the terrain immediately in front of the rover is scheduled for downlink early Tuesday.

It appears that tonight's first good chance for receiving the pancam high-resolution color images will be approximately 3:30 a.m. EST via a communications pass when Mars Odyssey orbiter flies overhead the Spirit landing site.
Spirit is currently asleep in the Martian night. It is scheduled to awake for Sol 3 (day 3) around 7:10 p.m., mission officials are telling a news conference. The upcoming sol activities will include cutting a cable between the lander and rover, additional retraction of the airbags and some science-related operations.

Squyres is telling the news conference that tiny thumbnails from the color mosaic have been received on Earth, confirming that Spirit has taken the first series of color images. However, the full images are still stored on the rover and not yet beamed to Earth. They could be transmitted tonight, but that will be determined by communications opportunities.
The first 3D black-and-white image, however, has been released showing the rover and landing area.
