As you did in your code use iif() to differentiate color but incorporate the 
value of the stops.  For example, for an n-bar stop: 

iif(sell == 5, colorwhite, colorred)

  Subject: [amibroker] Re: Plot Uniquely-Colored Stops?


  Well, all I see there is a comment at the bottom saying to apply the 
  following code below the Applystop formula in Indicator Builder:

  "Equity(1); // THIS EVALUATES STOPS

  Plot(Sell==4,"ApplyStop Sell",colorRed,1|styleOwnScale);
  Plot(Cover==4,"ApplyStop Cover",colorGreen,1|styleOwnScale);"

  This doesn't appear to be what I need (though I tried it anyway).  In 
  case I didn't make myself clear, I just want to differentiate n-bar 
  stops from regular sells by giving them differently colored arrows 
  (something other than red) when I plot my backtesting results.  I 
  assume this would be done by altering or adding to the PlotShapes 
  code I already posted.  

  Sorry if this is a basic question--I've tried to find/figure out the 
  answer, but haven't had luck.  Obviously, I'm no AFL wiz.

  Thanks, 

  Grant
