The pop up button is supposed to be "colors" but how can I find out its number?
No number between 0 and 9 seems to work

You can "probe" for all the available GUI elements. Take a look at the example script supplied by Apple called "Probe Window.applescript" found in /Library/Scripts/UI Element Scripts/ or by following the "Example Scripts" alias found in the /Applications/AppleScript/. Using the basic principles given in this script you can dig down through a window's hierarchy of UI elements and, if need be, get the properties of each.

FWIW, I found the "get properties of every UI element" line to be superfluous in most cases as what you tend to need is top level info such as the UI element's name.
