Use the property_ paradigm, as follows:

#include <gtkmm.h>

class MyWidget : public Gtk::EventBox
{
  public:
    MyWidget () : my_color (this, "my-color") {}
    ~MyWidget () {}

  public:
    Glib::PropertyProxy<GdkColor> property_color ()
    {
      return Glib::PropertyProxy<GdkColor>(this, "my-color");
    }

  private:
    Glib::PropertyProxy<GdkColor> my_color;
};

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
  Gtk::Main main(argc, argv);

  MyWidget widget;

  /* get/set your color:
  widget.property_color() = ... 
  GdkColor color = widget.property_color();
  */
}
