user selection of Object color

I would like to enable user selection of Object color on lines, etc. using drop down color palette, as in external variable edit window.
I have tried every thing I can think of..I am all out of ideas!

Thanks for your help,
Mike

See if this will work for you:

Select the Tools menu. Select Options. Click the oblects tab. Check "Show properties after creation".

Attached is a screenshot.
