>Anybody know how a program might find out the color of a file?

The color of a file is contained in three bits of the Finder info fdFlags
field.  (Where the number [0-7] corresponds to which menu item in the Color
menu the color corresponds to).  Sorry, but I can't remember which 3.

Also, you can change the colors in the menu (and therefore of the files)
with Layout 1.6.
