If I'm understanding you right, I think currentTiddler is the right thing.
As an example:
{{!!colorway}}
! The Title of the Thing and the Stuff
where colorway is the field with the long PITA spans.
Using your macro, it would just be
<<beDotted "YYYYRRR">>
>
! The Title of the Thing and the Stuff
and I could get rid of the colorway field altogether
or maybe do something like this?
<<beDotted {{!!colors}}>>
