Any logical explanation why females have got that much better deal with colors than guys from the evolution?

Sure, I completely agree that faces are better to work with then plain colors. Imaginary framework could have co exist of base-faces and accent-faces instead of base-colors and accent-colors (if this separation is even acceptable).

Isn't "face" the better abstraction, anyway? Think blind people.
Think color-blind people (up to 8% of the male and 0.5% of the
female population of Norther European descent [1]).

Conveying semantics via color has to have some fallback, and
this meshes well with faces, I think.
