Thank you for the pointers. I got minted-pygments working using the following setup: 
(setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "minted"))
(setq org-latex-pdf-process
 '("pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" "pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"  "pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))

Not sure what version of listings I have, but I get the same behaviour:
bold face but no color. You have to modify the settings. For example:

\lstset{ %
  ...
  commentstyle=\color{green},      % comment style
  ...}

will colour comments green. See the listings manual for more details:

You might want to try pygments and minted instead. It's a bit fiddly
to set up but does give you colour out of the  box.
