The spacing problems with \color are discussed in the graphics/graphicx
package document, p. 6, see also The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Ed., p. 870.
For printing with ink, colors are an expensive resource so it is customary
to carefully choose a small number of "spot" colors that will be used in
each document. A package that doesn't let you use the colors you have
already chosen won't be useful for things that need to printed with ink.
Maybe you can find a way to limit the use \newrgbcolor to the preamble. A
quick fix would be to "grep" our the newcolor commands and collect them in
the preamble, then comment out the ones created by the package.
