When I'm creating a new note in outlook via OLE using the following code, everything works fine except I cannot figure out how you can set the note color. Retreiving the color value via $Note->Color, works but I seam unable to write it even though the Object Model shows it as a Property like the rest. Help! 
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const;

my $Body         = "this is just a test\nnew note";
my $Color         = 1;
my $Categories         = "Favorites";
my $MessageClass     = "IPM.StickyNote";
my $Top         = "182";
my $Width         = "200";
my $Height         = "166";
my $Left         = "207";


$Outlook = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application');
$olc = Win32::OLE::Const->Load($Outlook);

    # Setup Creation of a new Note
    $note = $Outlook->CreateItem($olc->{olNoteItem});
      
      # Write Note Title & Body
          $note->{Body}         = $Body;

      # Optional note properties.
             $note->{Categories}     = $Categories;
             $note->{Width}         = $Width;
             $note->{Height}     = $Height;
             $note->{Top}         = $Top;
             $note->{Left}         = $Left;
            #$note->(Color)        = $Color;

      # Close and Save note.
       $note->Close($olc->{olSave});
