Will Color QuickDraw run on a non-color Mac (Portable)? If it will, where
do I find it? I need it to run a program.

No. One thing I hate about BW Macs is that no color stuff will run on them,
even if you just pretend. You can't even print to a color printer with a BW mac.

None of the b&w compact Macs have Color Quickdraw in ROM but I believe
the Color Quickdraw extension will run on an SE/30.

Actually the SE/30 does have Color Quickdraw in ROM. All Macs that Apple
shipped with 68020, 68030, and 68040 processors (and their variants) have
Color Quickdraw in ROM. The later ones even have 32-bit Quickdraw.
This is true irrespective of whether the Mac has a B&W display built in.
For instance, on the SE/30 it is possible to install a color display adapter
in the PDS, and it works fine and in full color without needing any
special software installed.

No, it is only available on machines that Apple shipped with 68020/30/40
processors. It is present in ROM on those machines.
