delete object or change the colour

Hi,

I have created an object using

glColor4ub(0, 255, 0, 255);
glVertex3f((GLfloat)(dE1), (GLfloat)(dN1), (GLfloat)dZ1);

What I am trying to say is I am not using VBO’s or arrays.

There are millions of points in the object. After drawing the scene I want to change the colours of the points in object and redraw the scene. Each point might have a different colour.

I have tried deleting the lists and recreating the object with a new colours, it works but uses up more memory which is in short supply.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

If I created a list of every point then when I come to draw the list but using glColorub(R,G,B,I) before every list, would that change the colour? There would be tens of millions of lists, would that create a problem?
