To set a constant color for a data object such as a set of
map outlines, pass an array of ConstantMaps to the appropriate
signature of DisplayImpl.addReference(), where the array
includes ConstantMaps to Display.Red, Display.Green and
Display.Blue. I don't think the SpreadSheet includes any
GUI for controlling this, but the SpreadSheet is set up for
user extensions for this sort of thing.

Cheers,
Bill
