Will Google deem these pages as supplemental?

We are currently designing a new website. The products we sell come in a few different colors. Because of the market, there are sometimes greatly different prices dependant on the color. I would like to make a seperate page for each color, but the description will obviously be the same since the only difference is the color. Should I be concerned about Google deeming one or all of the related pages as supplemental due to the duplicate descriptions?

I have thought about simply listing each color's individual price in the same product page, however, we also sell used and new versions of products, thus this would equate to a large, long, list of prices. I am trying to keep things simple for the customer.

Don't do it that way. It will cause lots of problems; and what a boring website with hundreds of pages almost all the same.

Describe the main product on the main pages that you get indexed. Describe the individual colour variations on sub-pages and keep those out of the index using <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tags.

We do it both way, we use attributes to pick options and we also list out colors as well. Just make your meta description, keywords and title appropriate.
