where does this array of colors live, eh? Sounds to me it would be a fixed array that could live in the renderer. Then just over ride the data setter in your renderer setting the background color there via setStyle().
Petter Ent at http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2007/02/index.cfm<http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pent/archives/2007/02/index.cfm> has a example that's a little different. Someone from Adobe mentioned on flexcoders extending Label in this way is a bit lighter too, so should perform better.
