Hello,  
I have the random colouring script from here:

myColor = Math.round( Math.random()\*0xFFFFFF );  
myColoredObject = new Color (\_root.square);  
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);

Is there a way to adapt this so it limits the colours? For example it only has 10 colours to choose from but still loads them randomly?
