The way you're iterating the color array is not correct.

For RTS_TL_BYREF or RTS_TL_BYREF_POSD you use:
XSI_RTS_ColorRGBA *color =
in_pGeom->m_pColorPtrArray[index][color_stream_index];

And for RTS_TL_SINGLE_INDEX_ARRAY:
XSI_RTS_ColorRGBA *color =
&in_pGeom->m_pColorArray[m_pIndices[index]][color_stream_index]

So you have to handle both code paths...
