Hi @creativeforge

WP has a function called get_post_ancestors
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_ancestors

This function will return an array containing all the parents for the given post.

I would use this function to find the parent for any given post/page. Then load the color value from that parent like so:

<?php 

$parent = get_the_ID();
$ancestors = get_post_ancestors( $parent );

if( !empty($ancestors) )
{
	$parent = end($ancestors)
}

$color = get_field('color', $parent);

?>

Thanks
E
