Hopefully someone can explain to me how to get this working? I have it working in a "pure" glut implementation so I think it some wxWidget stuff I'm not setting up properly.

I'm not entirely sure what you're experiencing as I cannot reproduce
the problem under wxGTK 2.9.  I can change the glColor call and see
the appropriate colors.  I do see that you aren't specifying the
polygon's normal.  This defaults to (0, 0, 1), so I guess that
shouldn't be a problem here.  Have you tried this with lighting turned
off?  This question might best be asked in comp.graphics.api.opengl.
