Your needs seem to be all over the map. If color is critical, what colors are not OK?

For someone with little mechanical aptitude, high mileage cars have got to be off the table. You'll kill your finances in repair bills taking it to a mechanic, especially as you rack up the miles.

CAR A $8500 - Above budget and miles are still kinda high.
CAR B $4995 - A little high on miles.
CAR C $3199 - 215k miles? No...
CAR D $3350 - How many miles? Blurry pics, but looks OK.
CAR E $4000 - How many miles? Off-color fender indicates an accident.
CAR F $4500 - It's new enough that these are likely lots of long trips which are easier... but I'd still have a hard time recommending this one.
CAR G $3400 - High on miles.

Better options?
2004 Toyota Corolla
2007 Toyota Corolla LE 95k silver
08 yaris
I'm not a big fan of Ford, but this Focus seems to be priced well:
05 Ford Focus

The Civics I looked at are either high miles or high price until you get back to '01-'05 which I can't recommend (too many problems with mine...) Avoid VW and older Hyundai/Kia.
