Make a struct with those widgets inside. For example :
typedef struct 
{
GtkWidget * colorsel;
GtkWidget * entry;
}color_entry;

Make an object:
color_entry *colorentry_object;
And than for example if a button was clicked:
gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (button), "clicked",
		      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (function_name), colorentry_object);
