    There are several problems with the code;

    firstly you’re telling the script to create something new, but you’re not telling it what to create. If you aren’t creating a custom object, you are creating an Object object, so you need to tell it that:

    var p = eval('new Object()');

    Now that you are creating a new Object object, you can configure the Color property:

    var p = eval('new Object({"Color":"Red"})');

    Here is a working fiddle

    But, why are you using eval in the first place? eval is evil!
