There is no way to do precisely what you seem to be asking. The
problem is a complete color specification in any of the standard
models requires 3 numbers. You could use Hue. A single value
while not sufficient to cover the entire color space is
sufficient to choose a particular color with default saturation
and brightness, i.e.
Graphics[{Hue[.5],Disk[]}]
will display a cyan colored disk.
