I believe most of the eBook readers have basic PDF support and can display colors in various shades of gray. What you may want to check (depending of course on your needs) are the zoom capability, layout, re-flow of text etc. which vary from device to device.

For color viewing, netbook is most robust solution, (as rightly suggested by Harry) but these days you can get these new colored TFT screen 7" eBook readers from China (check eBay listings) for anywhere between $125 to $175, which have Android or Linux OS, and are feature rich. Personally I don't like reading for longer spells of time on such backlit devices, but for viewing PDF I believe they should be an alternative worth considering.
