The link to storing NSColor in defaults was helpful. It reinforced what I
thought I already knew, but it appears that real problem was storing a
system color, [NSColor selectedMenuItemColor], instead of a color constant
such as [NSColor blueColor]. I created a simple project just to help
troubleshoot the issue. Here is the code if anyone wants to take a look.
you'll need window with an NSColorWell bound to NSUserDefaults
"values.textColor". If anyone can provide some insight as to why I can't use
[NSColor selectedMenuItemColor] as it should just return an NSColor which
should be suitable for the colorwell, I'd appreciate it. One thing I did
notice in gdb is that when I print the color's description, I get this for
selectedMenuItemColor:
*NSNamedColorSpace System selectedMenuItemColor*
*But for blueColor, I get this:*
**
*
NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace 0 0 1 1
But I would think that any NSColor should work just fine.

Thanks
