Hello, I'm looking for a way to recreate the following image:

Is there an easy way to create Penrose tiles while using coloured strokes? If not, what would be the least painful way to do it? ;)

With multiple color strokes? Not so easy. For a starting point see:

If you open the attached Inkscape SVG file and use the L-System effect, (Effects->Render->L-System) you will find the Penrose tiling defined. Change the order to 5 to match the Wikipedia image. You'll have to do the coloring yourself. I imagine, that a clever person could come up with an L-System that creates just the green lines. That could then be placed on top the normal Penrose tiling to reproduce the Wikipedia image.
