In the I2C spec, register address is actually 7 bits, the LSB of the 8-bit address is used to indicate whether it is a READ or WRITE transaction. So a 7-bit address must shift left one-bit to accommodate the READ/WRITE bit. The Modern Robotics Color Sensor spec specifies an 8-bit address. So it's already shifted one bit to the left. But if the WPILib I2C constructor is expecting a 7-bit address (i.e. it will internally shift one bit to the left and OR-in the READ/WRITE bit), then passing 0x1E to it is correct.
I recommend you try both and see which way it is.

The cRIO expects 8 bit, the roboRIO expects 7 bit.
