I don't see any way from the man page for /usr/bin/printenv nor from the
bash man page.  As I see it, you have two options:

1.	Change the source for /usr/bin/printenv and its man page.
	Submit the changes as an enhancement.

2.	Write a script to take the output of printenv (or that runs 
	/usr/bin/printenv and captures the output), colourizes it as you
	wish and displays it.

If you are only interested in a few variable values, just ask printenv
for those values.
