I received this email from Bushmaster a few minutes ago;

Thank you for inquiring about the new Bushmaster ACR rifle!

At this point in time we are in the testing stage of the rifle. We are hoping to have pricing by the middle of May, delivery currently scheduled in the late 2nd or early 3rd quarter this year. Final initial versions have not been determined at this point, it will be offered in 5.56mm with black coloration in the beginning. We have not determined other colors or other calibers at this point.

So is this saying that 5.56 and black with the possibabilty of other colors at the inital release, or only 5.56 and black in the beginning and other colors to follow later date?

Yup, but it sounds more like a MAYBE on other color's, caliber's for the future..
