Depending on your use, maybe this will help:

 set the backgroundColor of control <yourColorObject> to "gray40"
 set the screenMouseLoc to globalLoc(the loc of <yourColorObject>)
 put the mouseColor -- puts "102,102,102"

Judging from this and Richmond's reply, it appears you have to do the name-to-triplet translation indirectly, through the setting and getting of an object's properties. But maybe someone else will pipe in...

Ha, Ha, I was suffering from a bad dose of over-confidence there, because, if you read the Documentation under COLORS:

"A color reference is any standard color name; or three comma-separated integers between zero and 255, specifying the level of each of red, green, and blue; or an HTML-style color consisting of a hash mark (#) followed by three hexadecimal numbers, one for each of red, green, and blue."

There seems no obvious way to get  the RGB reference rather than the name.

The stack I just popped off just gives me the standard color name again.

How do I translate a color name (Blue1 for example) into its RGB values? Programatically.
