Yes, what I developed is mainly a way for applications to use colors that can 
be configurable per application, but which inherit from one of the basic set 
of color. And to give an unified interface for editing colors.

Matthew's patch doesn't seems to let configure the colors role per 
applications.  But never mind, this can be added in KDE 4.1. (This will 
require an API change, but is IMO possible without breaking the 
compatibility)
