There is not. Vim globally applies :highlight commands which are used by colorschemes to set the colors. Different windows cannot have different colors defined for the same highlight groups.

You could create a colorscheme which defines highly detailed colors for each different filetype of interest to get different colors for top-level syntax elements, but some things like the Normal background color and text color for unhighlighted items will be the same between the two still.
