Further experimentation has shown that it is not impossible to color \vrule's, thus \blackrule is not specifically needed.
\blackrule is a \vrule which is enclosed in \startcolor/\stopcolor.
Let me first mention that I put the colored rules away with \setbox\B=\hbox{} and then later call \B up.
Why so complicated?
It is a pity until now I am not able to concoct a
minimal example showing consistently the behaviour.
However I have made the following observations: define: \definecolor[mycolor][r=myR,g=myG,b=myB]
Have you tried '{\mycolor\vrule <spec>\relax}'?
No, I hadn't, but now I have. And it worked. The simplest solution is most of the times the best, indeed. Thanks.
