Comment:

 this also allows setting the color for selections.

 Note that currently, the baselayer is still rendered with GETMAPIMAGE
 which includes the selections as well.  The current OL implementation of
 MapGuide layer type uses the GETMAPIMAGE mapagent call for baselayers.

 I think ideally in the long run a much better approach would be for
 Selection.php to return selected feature geometries which would get
 rendered in a vector layer in the browser using OL vector drawing code.
 This wold allow client-side feature manipulation (e.g. highlight effects
 on hover).
