This is the way I do it (requires an object). Starting with a
graphic, for
example:
set the backColor of grc 1 to <colorname>
set the backPixel of grc 1 to the effective backPixel of grc 1
get the backcolor of grc 1
Not sure why it works, but it does for me.

Scott,
Thanks for this. It is easier than using the pencolor, even if it does
require a preexisting object.
It seem particularly appropriate that an object carrying the color
"WhiteSmoke", for example, should exist before being defined by its
RGB values.
In an effort to probe the mysteries of "backpixel" and "effective
backPixel" I included a couple of extra lines of code:
put the backPixel of grc tName into tempBack
put the effective backPixel of grc tName into effectiveTempBack
set the backPixel of grc tName to the effective backPixel of
grc tName
I discovered that tempBack and effectiveTempBack are the same and, in
this instance, equal to 16711680.
And so it is with all existential questions that they be mysterious:
