You could use the following:

select color, count(*) as Color_Cnt from mytable group by color into cursor c_temp

If you don't have any deleted records in your table, you could use reccount('mytable'). If you have deleted records, just perform another query on the results of the first query:

select sum(color_cnt) from c_temp into array latemp

latemp[1] will hold the total of all the counted colors.
