Is this possible? Function would be similar to the Color Bar Based on Study, but I want to color the EMA, not the bar.

This can be done with the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition Study:

The documentation explains how to color a Subgraph of another study.

OK. this is working, but what I'm looking to do is have the EMA colored when the market is above the EMA, and a different color when it's below. It appears that this function colors then entire EMA, when I want the color vary depending on where the market is, kind of how the line looks like when you have color bar based no slope selected in subgraphs.

You have to use two, assuming ema is ID1 and first color bar is ID2, enter alert formula the first color bar study as =C>ID1.SG1 and set the second color bar study as =ID2.SG1=0
