    I have imported an assy that has some trash that I don't want, and that
    particular trash is a unique color. Is there a way to filter/select only
    those items that match that color so I can window everything and get only &
    all those items? I've looked a bit but haven't found it.

    From UI in 2007 you can show the display states (click on double arrow
    symbol at top of FM near the tabs). From there all the colored
    components (assuming it is a component level color) should show up.
    Then you could control select them all and delete.

    Don't think you can do it from UI, but is definitely possible from API.

    Hmmm, interesting thought. I would have to query the color in question to
    obtain its number and then walk through all entities and delete if the color
    matched. Hmmm.
