  Yes, but then you would still have to convince people that the other included 
color change is good as well.

  It's not about number of lines; it's about how many distinct changes it 
introduces. Imagine a three-line patch that introduces three changes, where one 
is a bugfix and two of which are potentially controversial visual or behavioral 
changes. It's a small patch, but it would benefit from being split into three 
so the uncontroversial bugfix can be committed ASAP, without getting derailed 
by a discussion of the other issues.
  
  Does that make sense? If the problem here is that you don't know how to 
separate your bugfix from the visual change, I would encourage you to big into 
that a bit!
