Hello Gabor,
Thank you for your reply. You are right about the graphml files having
attributes set differently for R and gephi. When I look at the graphml file
produced by R, the color of the edges are coded on a single line. For
gephi, the file needs to have the information spread over three lines, one
for R,G, and B respectively. Here is a link to their forum in case you are
interested:

https://forum.gephi.org/viewtopic.php?t=1509&f=4

I changed 'name' to 'id' and now the vertex names import into gephi. The
name of the color for the edges also exports in test.net, but is not
recognized in gephi.
Thank you for the help,
Tom
