Thanks, that solved the problem,
didn't realize i wasn't saving in session, i was trying to transfer by
url following examples,
so i made following changes to code and now it is transferring values
correctly
redirect(URL('index',vars ={'bla' :request.vars.color}))
def index():
var = request.vars.bla
return dict(message=T('Hello World'),var = var)
