Maybe the data is received successfully from your service but the
dataProvider of the ComboBox is not populated at the time you try to set the
selectedIndex.
You could try to populate the dataProvider 'manually' after receiving the
data from your service and set the selectedIndex afterwards. 

protected function myResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
    colorsCB.dataprovider = event.my.data.object;
    colorsCB.selectedIndex = colors.lookupNdxByID(defaultColor);
}
