Is "Use QColor" too obvious? ;)

It does support everything the color dialog needs. I wrote a color dialog 
in another toolkit once, and you really don't need that much from the 
existing color object. Just a proper conversion from HSV (or whatever you 
are showing the user) to RGB and back.
And QColor has that.

So, yeah, its a bit of a strawman. Matthew was asking for something he 
knows is not required but he has asked for a public API for colors soo 
many times that it just doesn't seem very nice anymore to ask while there 
is absolutely no need to have such a public API.  As he stated in the 
rest of this thread as well.
