Are you saying this doesn't work or that you don't understand how it is working?

getColorRange uses getParamInfo:
   public Range getParamRange(String paramName) {
        ParamInfo paramInfo = getParamInfo(paramName);
        return ((paramInfo != null)
                ? paramInfo.getRange()
                : null);
    }

getParamInfo will end up trying the data alias mechanism.  If this isn't 
working the one thing I can think of is that you might have a param info 
defined for the original param name that does not have a range defined for it. 
getParamRange will end up with the paramInfo for the initial paramName and then 
return null.
