I recently found a set of Rare Boots and discovered upon wearing them that they were a most garish shade of yellow.
Do Rare items have an alternate default color scheme from magical (blue) items, or are rare items simply rolled with a random dye applied in addition to their properties?
Rare items no longer need to be identified. Legendary items still do, though. Just right click them to reveal which item you've discovered.
Just right click the item. A short cast bar animation will appear and you'll identify the item yourself, no need to go anywhere.
This is explained in-game by the small bar at the bottom of the tooltip, but its easy to miss.
Rare drop base is the same across all classes however it can be affected by gear and Magic % drop rates on the gear or followers.

From this discussion:
"...every rare item has a chance to randomly generate as a dyed item, with a random color."
