Philip:

What you want is:

glColor3f(*self.color)

As a matter if interest, 
you can also pass a dictionary as:

func(**dict)

i.e.:
>>> def triple(a,b,c):
... 	print "%s : %s : %s" % (a,b,c)
... 	
>>> t = (12, 15, 18)
>>> triple(1,2,3)
1 : 2 : 3
>>> triple(*t)
12 : 15 : 18
>>> dic = {'a':'x','b':'y','c':'z'}
>>> triple(**dic)
x : y : z

I can't find it in the docs now either.  
But I know it's a fairly recent addition. 
2.1 perhaps?
