Looking at the tex file, it appears that it uses a document class 
ieeecolor. LyX does not have a layout file for that, so that is the 
cause of the error.

The solution is to write a layout file for ieeecolor.cls. That appears 
to be based upon ieeetran, so something like:

    #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
    #  \DeclareLaTeXClass{ieeeolor}
    #  \DeclareCategory{Articles}

    Format 66
    Input IEEETran.layout

(saved as layouts/ieeecolor.layout, then reconfigure) should get you 
much of the way there. Some things will import as ERT (whatever 
ieeecolor does that IEEETran does not), but that can be fixed. Please 
see chapter 5 of the Customization manual for more info.
