I want to store colors in an alist like

#(define types
'(("one" . "red")
("two" . "blue")))

I can retrieve and display the values with assoc-ref but I don't know how to
turn the returned string into a color to be used in an override.
Try quasiquote + unquote:

#(define types
   `(("one" . ,red)
     ("two" . ,blue)))

#(display types) => ((one 1.0 0.0 0.0) (two 0.0 0.0 1.0))

Hi Jay,

thanks, that was it. Still a mystery, this all ...

I would be extremely happy if someone could take the time and write a slow-paced tutorial about this on Scores of Beauty!

Best
Urs
