Color (formerly known as "Final Touch" from Silicon Color) is a high-end color grading/finishing application. Apple purchased it from Silicon in late 2006, renamed it "Color" and includes it with the Final Cut Studio 2 package.

Adobe After Effects is a primarily a compositing application.

Two different tools.

Although AE has great coloring tools, Color is really top of the line in terms of color grading. If you were editing in Premiere, then AE might be a better option (as you can exchange timelines back and forth). But when working in FCP, Color is the way to go.

The posts above answered your question, but I want to add that if you have the time to learn it and can afford After Effects, pick up a copy. There is so much that you can do in AE that complements FCP that it's a necessity for most serious editors. Crisp Titles, composites, keying, effects, the list goes on.
Motion is a decent substitute while your starting out, but the fine tuning and power of After Effects is hard to beat.
