  The onclick need not be on an anchor necessarily, but if that works for you then go for it. Also, you don't put 'javascript:' in the onclick attribute because those (onmouseover, et al) are only for javascripts anyway so no need to declare it. Anyway, you're pretty close:
  <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('your_hidden_field').value = 'brown'; return false;">BROWN</a>
  <input id="your_hidden_field" name="f_color" value="" />

  Something along those lines will work.
