According to the Commodore monitors page, there's not a single 120V Commodore monitor ever made to support a PAL composite signal.

If anyone in the US/Canada has experience getting color from a PAL CD32, please let me know!

The schematics for all the commodore monitors show that they only support one color standard..  Example from the 1702 schematic..
P.9- Only 1 3.58Mhz trap..
P.11 Chroma Dem circuit- Y301 = 3.58954Mhz
No sign of any PAL chroma trap or demodulation circuit..

When you switch a PAL Amiga 600/1200 to 60Hz, you're not swithing it to NTSC, you're just creating NTSC frequencies/scan lines with a PAL chroma signal, so a PAL 1702 will be able to decode the same PAL color.
