If there is a {Dictate of Karametra} on the field and I tap {Grand Coliseum} for one colorless can I then add one of any color in addition to the one colorless or does it only give me any color if I pay the life.

I think you can add any color.
It sounds like the same kind of interaction with {reflecting pool} + {grand coliseum}
You can tap the pool for any color since coliseum could produce any color.

Keep in mind  {Dictate of Karametra} says "of any type that land produced" not "of any type that land could produce".  If you were to tap the {Grand Coliseum} for colorless, based on it's wording, Dictate would give you another colorless. And say you tapped the Coliseum for a red, you would get a second red in your mans pool from dictate.

Just a note, I know you already caught yourself on this one, but be careful when you "think" you know the answer. Be certain.
Wording is everything in Magic, and even then some interactions can be counterintuitive.

That said, carry on with thinking along, it is highly appreciated.
