I would like to add instances of a subclass of NSColor to the color

shows all the colors as white (even the system colors) - in some cases
it just crashes the other app. Is there a way I can tell NSColorPanel
to add my special colors only for my app, and not affect other apps?
The problem goes a bit deeper. At least in the past, if the user
puts
a custom colors on the palette of colors, it would get archived and will
other apps may raise/crash trying to unarchive load the color list from
~/Library/Colors/NSColorPanelSwatches.plist. If you do this, it would
be good to make sure your colors *archive* themselves as normal colors,
possibly using -replacementObjectForArchiver:, substituting a stock
color.
