Sol Fire has made a list of the GroupColours for OFP:

0 - No colour
1 - Black
2 - Red
3 - Green
4 - Blue
5 - Yellow
6 - Orange
7 - Pink

Note: That this does not name the group.
To call a group "grp1", for example, write this in the init field of the group leader:

grp1 = group this

Since Arma, the letter value can be any word you prefer. Group Colour doesn't seem to work though.
