Perhaps I should ask - why do you need the colour? 

You can grab the colour of a pixel on the screen; or even on the bitmap you 
draw a feature onto. But a feature by itself has no colour - it is just data. 
Drawing the feature on the screen uses colour; and you can control the drawing 
process.

You can perform the same query the drawing routine does in order to determine 
the colour for a feature (if that is of any help to you).

Perhaps you could be specific about what you want to accomplish; right now it 
seems like you are trying to lift water with a fork.
