4: set color of every picture box of layout space 1 of project "bob" whose name of color = "red" to "pink"
"QuarkXPress Passport got an error: Can't set color of every picture box of layout space 1 of project \"HK_88_D_301_bis_301_ID_16035\" whose name of color = \"red\" to \"pink\"."

Attempting very humbly to offer my 2 cents - I don't know QuarkXPress at all.

1 - I see that you are testing "name of color", but you are setting the "color" property: you are sure it should not be "set name of color of ..."
2 - I know some cases where an expressions with "every ... whose" does not work as expected only because the application meets a failure while evaluating the test. For instance, suppose that for some reason "name of color of picture box 14 of layout space 1 etc." returns an error, maybe that would be enough for your command not to work.
