ASA 2003 Rule 8 Section 2-M(3):

"On any force out attempt from the foul side of first base, or an errant throw pulling the defense off the base into foul ground, the defense and the batter-runner can use either the white or colored portion."

Room for quibbling here, for sure. My call would be -- you can use the colored side if a throw is coming from foul ground, or you go get it and bring it back to the colored side.
