The functionality of d.vect.area has been integrated into d.vect. In your case
you could create a column with RGB values in your database and use the -a
flag, or use the cats or where option with fcolor.

In general, if you cannot find a command you used in 5.0/5.4 in 5.7, have a
look at http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/twiki/bin/view/GRASS/ModulePortingList to
find out how it was replaced.
