Almost the answer *g*
Oviousely the question was how to change the bgcolor of a layer, so try 
this instead:
function colorchange() {
  parent.otherframe.document.layers
['theLayerUWantToChange'].document.bgColor = 'anyColorUWant';
}

> In the page try:
> <a href="javascript:void" onClick="colorchange()">Change</a>
> Good luck.
