Any ideas? I'm able to change other defaults, but just not the color (stored in the defaults as NSColor). It's clearly a result of attempting to synchronize the screen saver defaults, but what can I do to fix it??

Your problem could be that NSColor is not a property list type. See this for documentation on how to store it:

<file://localhost/Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/DrawColor/Tasks/StoringNSColorInDefaults.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001693>
