You should be able to do this with the Picture command. You can
store a color PICT on the clipboard or as a PICT resource in the
stack and use the Picture command to display it in many different
ways. See the "Power Tools" stack that comes with the 5-disk release
of HC2.0x for complete syntax.

I've done this with B&W PICTs but not color.
