should be this:
db.define_table('t_colours',
Field('f_colour', type='string', label=T('Colour')))
db.t_colours.f_colour.requires = IS_IN_SET(('Red','Blue','Black'))
or this:
db.define_table('t_colours',
Field('f_colour', type='list:string', label=T('Colour')))
db.t_colours.f_colour.requires =
IS_IN_SET(('Red','Blue','Black'),multiple=True)
You cannot have a list of strings and not allow multiple values.
