Exactly. The whole point of the law is to give cops a visible indicator that the gun isn't real. To me that means cops are expected to at least hesitate before shooting a person who is wielding a brightly colored weapon.

Since we all know that isn't likely to happen (at least not more than once) the law will not do what it is intended to do.
