You'll need to use a superquery.  See below.

SELECT state, company, model, count, col_yes, 100.0*col_yes/count
FROM (
    Select  g.STATE,
        g.COMPANY,
        g.MODEL,
           count(g.MODEL) as COUNT,
           coalesce(sum(case when COLORS = 'Yes' then 1 else 0 end),0)
as COL_YES
    from gentech_12_13 as g
    where MODEL = '0387' and COMPANY = 'ACME'
    group by g.STATE, g.COMPANY, g.MODEL
) q;
