I can't believe that a few hundred lines of code, with 5-8 colors a piece is going to do anything to load times. I was just concerned about adding frivolity to Colors.jl, since it has so much cited research that goes along with it. That, and given that ColorBrewer.jl exists separate from Colors.jl made it seem like Colors.jl might already be in a steady-state.
