If you use Gzdoom, drag and drop the pk3 file into gzdoom.exe.
If you use Zandronum, just copy and paste it into the skins folder.

No, you don't do that.
Just do what you did with GZDoom or simply allow all PK3 files to open with Zandronum.

I do that, it allows me to just drop all the mods in one folder and launch doom via steam and track my hours.

I meant this in a way in how you shouldn't do this, especially if you choose to play Multiplayer.

I use GZDoom as my port in combination with ZDL. ZDL is a launcher program that works with any installed source port but also lets you open more than one mod in sequence. It makes launching multiple files so much easier!

Here's how I play Colorful Hell (amazing mod btw):

1. Run ZDL.
2. Choose your port (eg. GZDoom, Zandronum, etc...).
3. Setup an order for the .pk3 and .wad files to load:

Example:

ColourfulHellBrownBeta4.pk3

followed by

*insertmappackhere.wad*

4. Choose the game the mappack is for (if you use any).
5. Hit "Launch"

Do bear in mind that Colorful Hell's current versions require an up-to-date version of GZDoom to run!

Hope this helps! Keep on doomin!
