Steve,
the string of the name of the color must correspond exactly to the
one you see in the Colors palette or the one which is visible in
the Edit color dialog.

tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell current box
tell paragraph 1
set color of text from character 1 to character 5 to "PANTONE 485 CV"
end tell
end tell
end tell

If you don't have edited the name, then this snippet should work.
If you have shortened the name to "485CV" then you must use this
name in your script.
If this doesn't work, then check in the Edit color dialog if the name
doesn't have a trailing space (or a leading one, or a space between
"485" and "CV"...).
