Colin,
Actually I'd create a listbox and assign popup to it. I directly answered your original question. This one is nort perfect but better I think (keep in mind this creates a container and should find place at least for its size - right click somewhere at bottom right to see what I mean) :
oForm=createobject('myForm')
oForm.Show
Read events


Define class myForm as Form
  Add Object myMenu as myMenu with name = 'myMenu'
  procedure load
  Define popup mypop multiselect
  Define bar 1 of mypop prompt 'Color1' color RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192), RGB(0,0,0,0,255,255)
  Define bar 2 of mypop prompt 'Color2' color RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192), RGB(0,0,0,255,0,255)
  Define bar 3 of mypop prompt 'Color3' color RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192), RGB(0,0,0,255,255,0)
  Define bar 4 of mypop prompt 'Color4' color RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192), RGB(0,0,0,0,255,0)
  Define bar 5 of mypop prompt 'Done'   color RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192), RGB(0,0,0,192,192,192)
  Endproc
  Procedure queryunload
    Clear events
  Endproc
  Procedure rightclick
    With this.myMenu
      .Move(min(mcol(wontop(),3), this.width-.width), ;
      	min(mrow(wontop(),3),this.height-.height))
      .visible = .t.
    Endwith
  Endproc
Enddefine

Define class myMenu as container
  SpecialEffect = 0
  BorderWidth = 1
  Visible = .f.
  Add object ColorCoded as myColorSel with left = 2, top=1
  Add object myComm as myComm with left = 2
  Procedure init
    With this
      .myComm.Top = .ColorCoded.height
      .Height = .myComm.Top+.myComm.height+1
      .width = .ColorCoded.width+4
    Endwith
  Endproc
Enddefine

Define class myColorSel as Listbox
  SpecialEffect=1
  BorderColor=rgb(192,192,192)
  Procedure init
With this
  .RowSourceType = 9
  .Rowsource = 'mypop'
  .Height = .ListCount * FontMetric(1)+sysmetric(4)*2-1
Endwith
Endproc
Enddefine
Define class myComm as commandbutton
  Caption='\&ltDone'
  Procedure click
    This.parent.visible = .f.
  Endproc
Enddefine
