you have to add the reference ‘GeometryColor’ and from the modifier class import GeometryColor

```
import sys
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference('GeometryColor')
from Modifiers import GeometryColor

geom = IN[0]
color = IN[1]

OUT = GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor(geom, color)
```

An extra tip:  
to be able to manipulate colors inside of python use the following references as well:

```auto
clr.AddReference('DSCoreNodes') 
import DSCore
from DSCore import *

```
