I don't think that it was planned to be in multicolor. Check out the Prince Intro, there you can see details (eg the title lettering/logo) which can't be achieved in multicolor.
The same for the game. Indeed, the bit patterns sometimes are like multicolor chars in hi-res, however, I think this is just coincidently. The bit patterns have been used to create some kind of dithering/different tones. At first, one might wonder why they haven't used chessboard patterns for that (instead of vertical lines) but those vertical lines work quite well for darker tones I think.
