          Here is a simple hack, defining a colortextcite command, based on textcite:



          documentclass[presentation]{beamer}

          usepackage[backend=biber, uniquename=false, maxbibnames=99, maxcitenames=2, citestyle=authoryear, bibstyle=authoryear]{biblatex}

          addbibresource{references.bib}

          DeclareCiteCommand{cite}
          {color{red}usebibmacro{prenote}}%
          {usebibmacro{citeindex}%
          usebibmacro{cite}}
          {multicitedelim}
          {usebibmacro{postnote}}

          DeclareCiteCommand{parencite}[mkcolorbibparens]
          {usebibmacro{prenote}}%
          {usebibmacro{citeindex}%
          usebibmacro{cite}}
          {multicitedelim}
          {usebibmacro{postnote}}

          makeatletter

          blx@setsfcodes
          bibopenparen#1bibcloseparen
          endgroup}
          makeatother

          usepackage{filecontents}

          year = 1990,
          address = {Cambridge},

          • [1] is the number of arguments of the macro, and inside the definition of the macro, #1 denotes this argument (which here is replaced by the biblatex key). This being said, you can find lots of tutorials on tug.org.
