I want to color the brackets of inline citation like: some text[9] where it is written in latex like this some text\cite{9}. Now hyperref only colors the number "9" without the brackets "[]". Is there any workaround for this?

You could either set the colour for the hyperlinks with
\hypersetup{
colorlinks,
citecolor=green,
linkcolor=black
}
(this will only colour the click-able part of the citation) or add the colour manually to the citation commands:
\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\usepackage[backend=biber, uniquename=false, maxbibnames=99, maxcitenames=2, citestyle=authoryear, bibstyle=authoryear]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}
{\color{red}\usebibmacro{prenote}}%
{\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
\usebibmacro{cite}}
{\multicitedelim}
{\usebibmacro{postnote}}
\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}[\mkcolorbibparens]
{\usebibmacro{prenote}}%
{\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
\usebibmacro{cite}}
{\multicitedelim}
{\usebibmacro{postnote}}
\makeatletter
\newrobustcmd{\mkcolorbibparens}[1]{%
\begingroup
\color{red}%
\blx@blxinit
\blx@setsfcodes
\bibopenparen#1\bibcloseparen
\endgroup}
\makeatother
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{references.bib}
@Book{bartolini-mair-1990,
author = {Bartolini, Stefano AND Mair, Peter},
title = {Identity, Competition and Electoral Availability. The Stabilization of European Electorates 1885-1985},
publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
year = 1990,
address = {Cambridge},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Text \cite{bartolini-mair-1990} text
Text \parencite{bartolini-mair-1990} text
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\printbibliography
\end{frame}

Well, I have a workaround for you. Change the definition of \parencite to
\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}
{\usebibmacro{prenote}}
{\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
\printtext[bibhyperref]{[\usebibmacro{cite}]}}
% ^ ^
{\multicitedelim}
{\usebibmacro{postnote}}
by adding the missing brackets.
With the following MWE
