Aaron-- 

I think your problem lies with the use of "selection," rather than with the color specifier. I think you probably mean: 

set mySelection to selection 
set fill color of row 1 of item 1 of mySelection to color "PANTONE 2735 CV" of currentDoc 
 

To get around having to specify the full "path" to the document color, you should be able to put things inside a "tell" block, as in: 

tell active document 
set myColor to color "PANTONE 2735 CV" 
end tell 
 

Thanks, 

Ole
