You could add another parameter to test which expression to 'activate' in the query, something like:
select * from items where ('notnull' = ? and color_id = ?) or ('null' = ? and color_id is null);
Of course, with those _positional_ query parameters that means you need to add the same value TWICE into the query. You
wouldn'tneed to with _named_ query parameters, if those are available to you.
