How would you get colors in the text file?

The official runtime plugins offer a :TOhtml command which will create an HTML document with the diff, including colors. There are options to mimic Vim's folding, etc. as well. See :help :TOhtml.

There is also a plugin that offers the same features and more, and also outputs to more formats: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3113
