Emacs allows only one cursor color per "frame" (i.e., window), so the
best I can do is to ensure that the color is determined by the current
buffer (commit 03004f7). If you have two buffers open, then the
inactive buffer's cursor will also change color, unless you disable
inactive cursors altogether by setting `cursor-in-non-selected-windows'
to nil.

The cursor /type/ (box, hollow, bar, etc.), on the other hand,
is fully buffer-local.
