Yes, that's what I am currently doing.
But it seems that that is exactly the kind of thing
we are enabled to avoid with e.g., named fonts.
So I was hoping for an equivalent functionality
for colors.  From your answer, I am guessing there
is none.

This is an example where different behavior by
StringVar could have been put to good use, I think.
