Interesting technology if it's real. Perhaps they're using sensor overlay methods to achieve that. ie. IR cut + regular CMOS imaging.
I have been using image intensifiers and so-called digital night vision devices that requires IR lighting. (eg. IR Cut CMOS chips)
It's hard to get so-called 'full color' at night because most objects absorb and reflect/refract light off it's surface from the sunlight.
But for night time where objects are probably illuminated by moonlight or 3200K or close street lightings, or with virtually no visible lighting, it's hard to perceive 'full color' in those no light conditions. There's no full color light spectrum to reflect off its surface in the first place... Even when I use 850nm IR for nocturnal or wildlife filming, I see only B&W image or with a slight green tint because the reflected light source is 850nm IR. Some red color can exist in the image if the surface happens to absorb the IR light.
There are also newer imaging technology where they combine regular image + Thermal to create a nicer image than raw thermal imagery.
FLIR calls it 'MSX multi-spectral imaging enhancement'.
Nevertheless interesting to follow this technology.

Have you looked into the Canon ME2F-SH?
It has an ISO of almost 4.5 million but the image stars to get noisy after ISO 512,000.
