I'm not sure what you intended with the "text of" object expression, so I made
an assumption. That can be modified to fit your real need.
Perhaps something like this (untested):
put field "in" into colorLines
repeat with n = 1 to 100
get "d" & n
set the backgroundColor of graphic it to line 1 of colorLines
set the foregroundColor of graphic it to line 2 of colorLines
delete line 1 to 2 of color lines
repeat
