Price for a Dura Ace equipped Colorado, by the way, on August 9, 1994? $850.

Your serial number indicates that it was a 54 cm Colorado LT with the extra long (56.5 cm) TT. The LT was last made in 1992, so it had been at the dealer for a while before the sale. Perhaps that caused it to sell a bit cheaper than normal, but the bike would still be worth $850 today if nice. The LT had Tange tubing as opposed to the Colorado II's Columbus, and the BB shell was lugged at the time the CII's was fillet brazed. It seems not very many were produced compared to CIIs or TGs.
The yellow on the later Coors bikes is not neon, it's more of a golden yellow, and wasn't a fade.
