No, I'm not after the system colors because the objects in my program don't
correspond to things like menu bars, window borders, etc.  Instead, the objects
are the sun, moon, stars, planets, galilean moons, etc.

For now I'm working on a dialog box that will allow the user to select an
object (e.g. the sun), and then specify a color from a static palette.
