Answers.Text: Sorry to break it to you, but the block you linked to for NXT-G doesn't work. If you try to import it via the block import and export wizard, it won't import. The author of the block even acknowledged this and apologized, and said that he probably wouldn't fix it since he has way to many different versions of things on his computer. I would cite my source on where he said this, but that forum seems to have recently gone down...

  Making the assumption here that by analog, you mean something more fine-grained than just the 6 or 7 colors.
  
  Both the NXT and EV3 color sensors have the capability of reading the individual color components. The value read is not a voltage, but just a "percent" of reflected light of each color.
  
  For NXT-G, you can find a block [here](http://www.teamhassenplug.org/NXT/NXTGAdditions.html) (the *Color Range Block*). (see comments)
  
  For EV3-G you can find a block [here](http://mindcuber.com/mindcub3r/mindcub3r.html#ColorSensorRGBBlock). The EV3 block requires firmware version 1.06 (there is a bug that prevents it working in earlier versions).
