Here is a caulk that you can tint with regular latex paint. I have used it before and it worked well when I wanted to match the color of my wall paint.

I can't speak to that particular product, but Sashco's Lexel caulk is great stuff.

Keep in mind, that most colored caulks are latex/acrylic anyway, that you can mix in latex paint in the color of your liking to achieve the desired result, or the paint pigments...
Of course you have to start with a darker color mixed with the (white) caulk to end up with the shade you want. Except that if you find a paint store with a knowledgeable staff, they can figure out the ratio for you the same as they do to custom mix paint colors in-store, determine the pigments needed, then you can just point to the color sample card, color you want and go from there.
It is a bit fiddly to do it, not starting out in a tube, but those who are practiced in using icing will know what to do, that you use similar techniques to apply it and being water based, it completely rinses off whatever you are using if it's not a disposable plastic bag with the corner cut off... I mean there are empty caulk tubes you can just load it into if you are most familiar with doing it that way.

Do those tintable caulks have a longer work time? The only acrylic or latex caulks I've used start to skin over in just a few minutes. I can't imagine dumping it into a cup to mix some pigment first.

^ The working time is no different, but if you want a longer working time you can simply mix some water in, with a resultant decrease in viscosity of course, and even more shrinkage.
"Few minutes" though, it takes less than one minute to just mix some color in (or is sealed in a can if that's how they're doing it with a can shaker to mix, so no drying out during mixing), and remember that if you are mixing it, it's not sitting still so it can't form a skin.

Honestly that's probably the best way to go. Like I mentioned above chances are good the room is in need of a remodel anyway so why spend the time and money trying to track down a custom colored caulk. It just doesn't make much sense.
