When using the git log command with the --oneline switch, you cannot
add the --date=<date> switch to see the dates. The only workaround is
to create an alias and use the --pretty-format which doesn't provide
the ability to colour the branch and tag information (as far as i can
tell).

Right. --date is just about selecting which date format to show, not
whether to show one. The decision of what to show is up to the format,
and --oneline does not include a date.

You can use "%C(auto)" to turn on auto-coloring for various components:
git log --format='%C(auto)%h%d %s'
which reproduces the usual coloring and format of --oneline. Then you
should be able to add in your own date, colored as you wish. E.g.:
git log --format='%C(auto)%h%d %C(blue)%ad%C(reset) %s'
If you want to use this a lot, you may want to look into the "pretty.*"
config so you can trigger it with a short name.
