Color3 and CallList

I am reading different tutorials in my quest to learn OpenGL.

I declare a list in the OnLoad:

id = GL.GenLists(1);
 
GL.NewList(id, ListMode.Compile); // create 
GL.Begin(BeginMode.Triangles);
 
//GL.Color3(1, 0, 0); 
GL.Vertex3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 4.0f);
GL.Vertex3(1.0f, -1.0f, 4.0f);
GL.Vertex3(0.0f, 1.0f, 4.0f);
 
GL.End();
GL.EndList();

Next I would like to draw the list in red to the screen in OnRenderFrame:

GL.Color3(1, 0, 0);
GL.CallList(id);

Nothing appears on the screen. If I uncomment "GL.Color3(1, 0, 0);" inside the creation of the list, the color shows, how come is that? It is like the "GL.Color3(1, 0, 0);" in the onrenderframe is not executed.

Best regards,
