Why is the script not able to use users colour selection?

Hello

So there are two scripts 

A controler and a main. 

The script automattically adds rules 

the user can select parameters in the controller 

which writes to an defaults.xml file

the main uses all parameters in making the rules but cant seem to get the colour 

Also would be nice for the menu for colours to show an icon of the colour - any ideas there?

Thanks
