Colors bizarre results with right to left text

Question

I have this example

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}

\setmainfont{Amiri}

\parindent=0pt

\begin{document}

{\color{red} text from  left to right  text from  left to right   \par
text from  left to right  text from  left to right }

\hrulefill

\setRTL

\color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left
\par  text from  right to left text from  right to left \normalcolor

\hrulefill

{\color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left \par
 text from  right to left  text from  right to left}

\hrulefill

{before \color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left \par
 text from  right to left  text from  right to left}

\end{document}

With this result

Color of text in ltr (left to right) is fine, but in rtl effects of \color is confusing, also the text before \color is colored! look like the command is applied from the beginning to the end of the paragraph without regard of command position.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}

\setmainfont{Amiri}

\parindent=0pt

\begin{document}

\setRTL

{\leavevmode\color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left \par
text from  right to left}  text from  right to left  \par 
text from  right to left  text from  right to left 

\end{document}

Update 29/06/2018

With \addfontfeature{Color=red} (command from fontspec package) the problem can be solved like that

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}

\setmainfont{Amiri}

\parindent=0pt

\begin{document}

\setRTL

before {\addfontfeature{Color=red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left \par
text from  right to left}  text from  right to left  \par 
text from  right to left  text from  right to left 

\end{document}

My aim is to find a method directly with xcolor ( or color) package without reliance on package fontspec.

Answer 1

There are solutions, but none of them is nice except the one solution you suggest on your own using fontspec:

% !TeX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}

\setmainfont{Amiri}

\parindent=0pt

\newcommand{\parnew}[1][red]{\par\color{#1}}

\begin{document}

{\color{red} text from  left to right  text from  left to right   \par
text from  left to right  text from  left to right }

\hrulefill

\setRTL

{\color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left
{\parnew  text from  right to left text from  right to left} \normalcolor

}
\hrulefill

\newcommand{\mycolour}{blue}

{\color{\mycolour}{ text from  right to left  text from  right to left \parnew[\mycolour]
 text from  right to left  text from  right to left}

}
\hrulefill

before {\color{red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left} {\parnew
 text from  right to left  text from  right to left

}
\hrulefill

before \textcolor{red}{ text from  right to left  text from  right to left }\par
\textcolor{red}{text from  right to left  text from  right to left}

\hrulefill

\textcolor{black}{before}   {\color{red}text from  right to left  text from  right to left 

text from  right to left \textcolor{black}{text from  right to left}

}
\hrulefill

before {\addfontfeature{Color=red} text from  right to left  text from  right to left \par
    text from  right to left}  text from  right to left  \par 
text from  right to left  text from  right to left

\hrulefill


\end{document}
