held up unduly, though you are right that the interface should be
consistent for colors.
Unfortunately, no, I don't think this will be easy. This ticket has been
open for 3 years, and there's been an **amazing** amount of progress in
the last month, but I think we need to be patient and make sure that when
we establish new functionality we do so in a way that is carefully-
considered and well-polished. Otherwise we'll be stuck maintaining a
difficult system. (Remember that standard deprecation time is one year,
so a non-backwards-compatible improvement to the interface would be slow-
going.)
