The GdkColor struct is so far unchanged in my branch. There are plans
to make it work better with Cairo, like giving it a value for the
alpha channel or using doubles instead of shorts for the values. So
everything might look a little different with GTK3. But I definitely
do not intend to drop any of the functionality provided with GdkColor.
So things like the color parsing or to_string() will definitely stay.
