RGB values for a color name

[Phil Davis]

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...
