Attempted Answer
Until we see a live meech in an oddworld game, we can't really be sure of their color. The meech munchie logo shows that they are a reddish orange, but that is misleading. The scrab cake scrab is green and the paramite pie is orange, so unless there are green scrabs and orange paramites we have yet to see, the colors of the creatures were changed by the Magog Cartel marketers. It is reasonable to assume that they also changed the color of the meech. But maybe they didn't for some reason.
In case you are wondering why they changed the color... have you ever heard of the Pink Panther? Just like on earth, brighter colors are more entertaining in oddworld than the dull browns and grays and greens and oranges that are common.
To answer your second question, most members here would say that they are almost 100% sure we will see a meech in a future game. Whether it be a game that takes place in the past, before they were extinct or a game that shows us the last stragglers in some cave or something (meeches useully don't live in caves, seeing as how they hunt elums).
It is rumored that a herd of meeches were put on a special island by glukkons. It is sort of a hunting range where they are killing off the rest of the meeches for entertainment.
