Hi,

a) you can't associate a color with every *point*, because
   Mathematica colors the polygon and not the vertex
b)
  ParametricPlot3D[
    {Cos[phi]*Sin[th],
     Sin[phi]*Sin[th],
     Cos[th],
     SurfaceColor[Hue[4phi/(2Pi)]]},
    {th, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2Pi}, PlotPoints -> {30, 60}]
  may help you.

Regards
  Jens
