I'd suggest using the same mechanism as for rasters, but with a
different top-level directory name, e.g. vcolr2/<mapset>/<name>.

OTOH, it may be better to replace this feature with "views", i.e. the
ability to create a new map which takes its data from some other map
but which can have its own metadata (colour table, etc).
