Answer 1

Question 2:

Generally, if you can replace custom control structures with a dictionary lookup, you're perfectly fine. It's easy to read and highly elegant -- stick with it.

Answer 2

As I said, it's great. The only thing I can add to your solution is that it's perhaps better to localize your colors.

function write(what) {
    var colors = [];
    colors['Blue'] = function() { alert('Blue'); };
    colors['Red'] = function() { alert('Red'); };
    colors[what]();
}
