pictex graphics device and color

Is the pictex graphics device known not to support color?

In R 2.0.1 Patched (2004-11-17), it produced very pretty output:

## pictex(file = "modern-metatheonomy.tex", bg = "transparent");
## plotData(data);
## dev.off()

... but it appears to have ignored all color information.
