How to set the color of a group of points depending on their positions very quickly

Hi,

I need to draw around 6000 points that are evenly and randomly distributed in a cubic shape volume. Most of them are white, but those that fall into some randomly located cylinder-shaped volumes (within the cubic volume) should be in other colors (e.g. green or red). I was wondering if there is a way of doing this very quickly rather than using an if-statement for each point as 6000 points may take a very long time to render in such a way?

This is how I draw the points:

Code:
import viz
import numpy as np

viz.go()
number=6000
positions=np.random.uniform(low=-12/2, high=12/2, size=(number,3))

viz.startLayer(viz.POINTS)
viz.pointSize(2)
for i in range(number):	
	viz.vertex(positions[i,:].tolist())
points=viz.endLayer()
In addition, I was wondering if there is a way of drawing all the points together rather than using a for-loop to do it individually?

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Do you only need to check if the points are within the cylinder shapes at the time of object creation? If so, that should be fine.
