Direct3D 10, failed on creating input layout

My application keeps failing to compile when I try to create a Vertex Layout in direct3D 10. Heres the code:

// Create the vertex input layout.
D3D10_INPUT_ELEMENT_DESC vertexDesc[] =
{
    {"POSITION", 0, DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32_FLOAT, 0, 0, D3D10_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA, 0},
    {"COLOR",    0, DXGI_FORMAT_R32G32B32A32_FLOAT, 0, 12, D3D10_INPUT_PER_VERTEX_DATA, 0}
};

// Create the input layout
D3D10_PASS_DESC PassDesc;
mTech->GetPassByIndex(0)->GetDesc(&PassDesc);
HR(md3dDevice->CreateInputLayout(vertexDesc, 2, PassDesc.pIAInputSignature,
    PassDesc.IAInputSignatureSize, &mVertexLayout));

It fails in CreateInputLayout(), I was also under the impression that HR() is meant to catch problems such as these and make suggestions in these cases, however it doesn't appear to do that. Although as with many cases I may be completely wrong on that. The prompt that comes up is :

Unhandled exception at 0x757fd36f in CourseworkApp.exe: 0x0000087A: 0x87a.

I think this is mainly related to errors with pointers but I am unsure. Any help would be much appreciated.

You should make your color format "DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM" and change "HR(md3dDevice->CreateInputLayout..." to "if(FAILED(md3dDevice->CreateInputLayout...)) {//Handle errors}".

I think that might help fix the problem.
