We introduce a decoder for the 3D color code with boundaries, which is a variation of the restriction decoder introduced by Kubicka and Delfosse. Specifically, we adapt the lift procedure to efficiently find a correction on qubits adjacent to a boundary. We numerically estimate a threshold of 4% - 8% for Pauli X errors and a threshold of 0.7% - 0.8% for Pauli Z errors. Our work is a first step towards characterizing the performance of Bombín's recently proposed "colorful quantum computing."
