Okay, so with the hints you all gave me I figured this out: Fill color for the text frame turns out to be the background color. Fill color for the story in the text frame turns out to be the foreground color.

I also figured out that the color belongs to the document and not the text frame. This did not work:

tell application
tell document 1
tell page 1
tell text frame 1
   set MySwatch to swatch "Yellow"
   set fill color to MySwatch
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Moving the "Set MySwatch" down to befor the "tell page" command did.

Is there a way to grab all the swatch names in the document?

Ole:

If by the explorer window you mean the results window, believe it or not I just discovered how to use it two days ago, which is one of the reasons the number of questions I have been asking has decreased.

Thanks, everyone, for contributing.
