I am aware of this, and hope that others (the authors of other languages
bindings) would share their opinions.
I asked Wolfgang Oertl, the author of lua-gnome bindings, to extend his
project with clutter bindings, and thankfully he did it (and it is quite
usable right now).

Here is the Wolfgang's answer:
"the proposed function "clutter_color_from_string" is a good idea
from my point of view. The functions that operate on an existing
ClutterColor and write into another are OK how they are, as it already
allows color:method(dest) like calls instead of clutter.method(color,
dest). A language binding might want to provide dest = color:method()
instead, but that would not be an issue of the library, but of the
binding - to detect a missing "dest" argument and then returning a new
object."
BTW, in lua, color:method(dest) is equivalent to color.method(self,
dest), so (when using a colon notation) the first argument is always "self".
Thanks,
