Well you need to have a graphic object (like a square) and then execute this
(I called my graphic "ColorHolder"):

function getRGB pColorName
      put the long id of grc "ColorHolder" into tObj
      set the backColor of tObj to pColorName
      set the backPixel of tObj to (the effective backPixel of tObj)
      return (the backColor of tObj)
end getRGB

HTH,
