Gaaah, I am tryin to use the trigger "Set unit color" and the "change unit propperty" but I can't get a way, to have it do it on, a selected unit!? .. Gaaah, I tried creating another trigger called "player selects unit" store that unit, and THEN do it on that variable unit. Anyone?!
None.
If you put the unit into a unit group when it is spawned, youll have the location of the unit you need to change at all times. To do this, make a variable and change it to Unit Group, then set the variable to Last Created Unit after making the unit using a trigger. Then calling up the unit is a breeze.
Use the Set Unit Color action, then make it look like this
Set (Random Living unit from My Unit Group (Or whatever you define)) team color to (Player ##) Whatever
For the first option, choose Random Unit from Unit Group, and then assign the unit group to the next field it asks for, then the color to whatever. Same goes for the change unit property action.

Are you trying to get the effect when a player selects the unit? I'm assuming you tried using the Unit is Selected event, but it didn't work?
SelectedColors
Events
Unit Selection - Any Unit is Selected by player Any Player
Local Variables
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Set (Triggering unit) team color to (Current player (Triggering player) color)
(Sets the color of the selected unit to the color of the player that selects it)
If the above didn't work, you can try using a unit group, like Riney suggested. However, I would just use the "Selected Units" function to get the unit group.
SelectedColors
Events
------- Your event here. If you want it to happen constantly, use Periodic Event with a low interval.
Local Variables
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Selected units for player 1) and do (Actions)
Actions
Unit - Set (Picked unit) team color to (Player 13) Light Green
Either way works for one unit, though Roy's method is much better for multiple units.
