Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Syriac Reader at none against Color Tools's shown. Syriac Reader also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Color Tools's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
