It means that the left believes everything said by people "of color".

Interesting that a number of us have questions about this colorable claim.

Maybe she just made that up , and thinks that it makes her sound smart, to use such a term.

IIRC, in legal usage, a colorable claim is one that has at least a prima facie appearance of merit, enough to proceed through initial stages of litigation. It suggests that the claim is not groundless or frivolous and is plausible based on the facts and law presented.
