Jeff, Johnathan, and Jay, I may be wrong, but I think Bob picked up on Jay's original intent. Jay, correct me if I'm wrong on this. I think Jay wants to identify a color to be active on a subsequent click of an atom. Bob's code suggestion would then apply this color to a script allowed selection group associated with the clicked atom. In other words, an adaptation of Jonathan's widget that would make it a global color storage tool for subsequent script action in addition to being a tool that implements a specific color change. The former would allow a single page widget to be the master of multiple script color changes. I've used this type of global color select tool with a clunky radio button color selector. Jonathan's widget is much nicer, and it could easily be adapted to become a global color picker for subsequent script action without losing its efficacy as a specific color change tool.
