You are not really clear. What is the problem?

"Request failed because object is from a different document or workspace" is the exact error message that Dave explains in post #2, and suggests a work-around. Martin Fischer provided an implementation of this suggestion.

Martin's script



var myCol = getColor ( 'Blue' );  
// do something with myCol.col  
if ( myCol.created == true )   
	myCol.col.remove();

function getColor ( aColName ) {  
	var aCol = new Object;  
	try {  
		app.swatches.item( aColName ).name;  
		aCol.col = app.swatches.item( aColName );  
		aCol.created = false;  
	} catch (e) {  
		aCol.col = app.colors.add( {name:aColName, space:ColorSpace.rgb, colorValue: [0,0,255]} );  
		aCol.created = true;  
	}  
	return aCol;  
}

doesn't work? Perchance his sample uses the name "Blue" instead of your "Red"? (I'm clutching to straws here.)
