Is it known what proportion of TftPR has the original 3-color foil (how rare it is)? I hope to soon hunt one down and while I'm not fussy about most details, I do want the 3-color foil.

2,000 copies of the original (with 500 copies being signed and having a different ISBN and information sheet).

I think the first (Chinese) reprint a couple of years back was approx. 500 copies, but have no idea whether there have been further reprints. The exact number of that first reprint is recorded somewhere in these threads.

Thanks. Sounds like the odds aren't bad.

There are several online places where you can get the first edition (with the tri-coloured foil) for about USD 300, and it goes much higher from there, depending on how greedy the seller is :)
