Sergio,

  See If This Works

//Begin Code

using NavAPI = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api;

// m_Color should be the Color Selected example: #FFFFFF
System.Windows.Media.Color m_CompColor =(Color)System.Windows.Media.ColorConverter.ConvertFromString
	(
		m_Color
	);
//
NavAPI.Application.ActiveDocument.Models.OverridePermanentColor
(
NavAPI.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.SelectedItems,
	new NavAPI.Color
	(
		Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.R) / 255,
		Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.G) / 255,
		Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.B) / 255
	)
);

//End Code

Sergio,

In your picture you showed a Button with a Color that the User Selects to change the color. Change m_Color to that Color Selection

the code is..

string color = "RED";
            // m_Color should be the Color Selected example: #FFFFFF
            System.Windows.Media.Color m_CompColor = (System.Drawing.Color)System.Windows.Media.ColorConverter.ConvertFromString
                (color
                    
                );
            //
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.Models.OverridePermanentColor
            (
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.SelectedItems,
                new Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Color
                (
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.R) / 255,
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.G) / 255,
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.B) / 255
                )
            );
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.Clear();

when i change m_color by color that is "string color  ="RED;".  Appears an error "Cannot implicity convert type"System.Drawing.Color" to "System.Windows.Media.Color" ". Please am i doing something wrong??

Red = #FF0000

Thanks a lot, again...

here is the code

System.Drawing.Color c = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            string strcolor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(c);
            //Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.Models.OverridePermanentColor(IEnumerable<ModelItem>, Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Color.Red);
            // m_Color should be the Color Selected example: #FFFFFF
            System.Windows.Media.Color m_CompColor = (System.Windows.Media.Color)System.Windows.Media.ColorConverter.ConvertFromString
                (strcolor
                    
                );
            //
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.Models.OverridePermanentColor
            (
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.SelectedItems,
                new Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Color
                (
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.R) / 255,
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.G) / 255,
                    Convert.ToDouble(m_CompColor.B) / 255
                )
            );
            Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument.CurrentSelection.Clear();
