Thanks Jennifer, 
but I'm querying the colors remotely by retrieving the database tables and not 
through an internet browser.
I was able to determine gene colors with the information in the 
kgColor table for "hg19", "hg18".
But earlier assemblies don't have the kgColor table.
Is there a different table for the earlier assemblies where gene colors are 
specified?

Thanks,
Sigal
