OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hi
I have drawn pyramid below square based top and bottom - how can i shade it so the it colour gradually fades as it increases in size - also how could I make it solid or add a lid?
gluCylinder(pyramid, 0.4, 4.0, 10.0, 4.0, 10.0);

thanx

float min_size = 1.0;
float max_size = 10.0;

glColor4f( 1,0,0, (float)size / (max_size - min_size);
draw pyramid

not to sure if i understand the other 2 questions
