No, that won't work because you can't tell from a script whether the default color is associated with the stroke or the fill.

Probably best to throw up a list of swatches for the user to choose from (although that might be annoying if you want to use the same swatch over and over in repeated runs of the script).

I use the caps lock key as a switch for this kind of thing. For example, if it's down, use the current value of the property; if it's up, ask the user to choose a new value. (I've not done that yet under OS X, but there must be a way.)
