If the issue is with one of the kexts, which I believe is causing the issue, go to your Extensions folder and cut its entire content to a folder on your Desktop, leaving the Extensions folder empty from any kexts - for better troubleshooting of the issue whether one of the kexts is causing the problem. At this point you should try to install the most essential kexts again, one at a time, and then to reboot and see if the problem is solved. For me the essential drivers are in this order:
1. The one that makes your Hackintosh boot without the rescue thumb drive (the FakeSMC.kext).
2. Display kext.
3. Network kext
4. Sound kext.
The priority order is from the most essential kext required to the least one.
However, I'd suggest to first reboot the system when there are no kexts in the Extensions folder at all. Just to see if upon an empty Extensions folder the system boots without the color problem. (UPDATE: boot with your rescue thumb drive that you used for installation, as you won't be able to boot without the required FakeSMC.kext for booting without the rescue thumb drive after you removed it. Then pick the partition you installed the OS on to boot from). Once booted to Desktop proceed with the installation of one kext at a time from MultiBeast with the priority order above. After each kext installation, disconnect the rescue thumb drive and check if the system boots correctly. If not, do the steps again until you get to the Desktop, remove the recent installed kext, install another kext and try to reboot again without the rescue thumb drive.
As for the display adapter model that appears as "ATI Radeon HD 5000" - that's completely fine as it just indicates that series. 5770 is in this series so you're good to go. See my Mini-Hackintosh's Overview after I run the combo update to update to 10.11.5.
