Just pass them as an array, i.e.
color($list);
function color ($colors) {
if (is_array($colors))
foreach ($colors as $c)
process one color from the list here
else
process a single color here
}
You might want to make this a function which pulls out each item in the
list and calls another function to process a single color (if the
processing is separate, that is).
