The difference between CAA and FAA colour vision standards are easy to find online.
My understanding is that the US medical relates to his US licence and the EASA medical to his EASA licence.
He could not operate the aircraft between EASA states on his US licence. Only by using the privileges of his EASA licence and medical could he operate an N registered aircraft between UK and France and the return.
Therefore in this instance his US licence and medical are irrelevant.
