Archiving NSColor as NSData

Hi,

Disclaimer: this is a question from a newbie.

Could someone please explain why an NSColor yields so much data when archived to NSData?

For example, the following code:

NSColor* color = [NSColor yellowColor];
NSData* colorAsData = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:color];
NSLog(@"colorAsData: %@", colorAsData);

yields the output:

colorAsData: <040b7374 7265616d 74797065 6481e803 84014084 8484074e 53436f6c 6f720084 84084e53 4f626a65 63740085 84016301 84046666 66660101 000186>

I suspect it's archiving other ivars in the color object. If so, is this much data in a single color object not a little extreme?

Thanks,
Rein
