A read/write property must be overridden by a read/write property.
A read-only property must be overridden by a read-only property.

Why? That's the whole point of what I am trying to do, override the 
readonly properties of your Color class with configurable colors that 
require the properties to be read/write.

I make no explicit references to your Color class, each color property 
has its' own local state variable that is set when the class is loaded. 
If I was excplicitly inheriting your Color class then I'd see why the 
properties accessors must match, but I'm not.

Are you saying that if I accidentally create a class with the same name 
as a class in some component then it implicitly inherits from that 
class? I thought the namespacing was supposed to prevent that?
