lamMAT_matrix.color = << r, g, b >>;
where r = red, g = green and blue ranging from 0 to 1.
Black would be << 0, 0, 0 >>, white would be << 1, 1, 1 >> and mid green would be << 0, 0.5, 0 >>. Get it?

i did it befor that way as well, because i found this expression for a vector in the maya help, but it tried it and maya gave me this answer (to the exact same line you wrote) :
"Error: Attributes must be of float, integer, or boolean types: color" ...
and thats what i don´t get
...the rest i am familiar with from photoshop.do you have any idea why maya doesn´t accept that line ?

It's not a vector variable. It's a float3. You also (may) need to use the setAttr command:
setAttr lambert1.color 1 1 1;
Sorry, my bad...

lambert1.colorR = 0;
lambert1.colorG = 1;
lambert1.colorB = 0;
You can connect another float3 attribute to lambert1.color, which is a compound attribute that includes colorR, colorG, and colorB.
Look in the Node and Attribute Reference to see this stuff -- these attributes are listed on the page for the Lambert node.
