Perhaps my approach is too simplistic, but if I had to do something like 
that, I would use modes:

\startmode [fiee]
   \definecolor [OEM] [c=1]
   \def{OEM}{fiee}
\stopmode

and for the fallback, use

\startnotallmodes [...]

then you can call from the command line with --mode=fiee and write

\color[OEM]{Company: \OEM}

But maybe your needs are more complex...

All best

Thomas
