How do you set/assign the color value to the reference map object? What 
if you set another color than -1,-1,-1, does it get through?

The following works fine for me in PHP MapScript. Perhaps make a similar 
test with the version of MapScript you are using (Python?), and then 
look at the output of /tmp/test.map to comfirm that the color is set as 
expected.

<?php
   $map = ms_newMapObj("/path/to/my.map");
   $map->reference->color->setRGB(-1,-1,-1);
   $map->save("/tmp/test.map");
?>
