Set Layer Color to color name

[Cooroo]

This works:

set layer color of layer 1 to light blue

This doesn't:

set listOfColors to {"light blue", "green", "blue"}

set layer colour of layer 1 to item 1 of listOfColors

I can see that item 1 is text, and light blue is not text - is there some way to coerce it? Maybe I'm just being lazy but if color names exist, I'd rather use them.

Thanks for any help,

Emma

Those UI colours are app constants so NO double quotes… Also NO u in color on last line…

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

          tell the active document

                    set layer color of layer 1 to light blue

                    set listOfColors to {light blue, green, blue}

                    set layer color of layer 1 to item 2 of listOfColors

          end tell

end tell
