If you just don't want to make these public... ok. That's fine. We 
won't. (Or... we'll wait for pigment to go prime-time :-).) But please 
address the above concerns which are real /now/.

Specifically:

- Do we want to force an unfamiliar (and in some opinions, unintuitive) 
color model on Windows users?

- Do we want to ignore half a dozen usability/accessibility suggestions 
from experts and u7y/a11y organizations? (Yes, we /do/ have high demands 
:-) )
