I am not really sure if I like the idea or not, but it kept me thinking. 
And yes it would be easyly doable (If you accept to switch to American 
instead of British English :-))

We could just add a few lines into [NSColor colorFromString:], when 
everything else fails, to test if the given string (after adding "Color" 
to it) is a class method of NSColor and than call this and return the 
result.

But what I would like more is to have another colour list, with well 
know named colours and to just reference this in the default setting.

defaults write NSGlobalDomain controlColor \ 
{"ColorSpace"="NSNamedColorSpace"; "Catalog"="Named"; \ 
"Color"="darkGray"; }

Could you live with this solution as well? The benefit is that we don't 
need to add any code that needs maintenance.
