You can use this rule to remove a query parameter from any where in query string:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+?&)?color_new=[^&]*(?:&(.*))?$
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1%2 [R=302,L]

Keep this rule above other rules.

I use 302 for testing phase to avoid bad cache in browsers. Once you verify rule is working fine for you then you can change 302 to 301. – anubhava Dec 30 '15 at 14:33
