  From "man emerge"

   --color < y | n >
          Enable  or  disable  color  output.   This  option will override
          NOCOLOR (see make.conf(5)) and may also be used to  force  color
          output  when  stdout is not a tty (by default, color is disabled
          unless stdout is a tty).

  So you'd want...

/usr/bin/emerge --color y --ask --update --deep --newuse --tree --verbose @world | tee --append nom.txt

  Insert "--color y" into the command.
