Do you need the @everywhere? using should be good enough on its own.
However, this isn't working perfectly: see
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/9245
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/3674
for some things you may need to work around (or better yet, submit a fix for!).
In particular, your experience and #9245 can both be worked around with the
following "amusing" sequence:
$ julia -p 2

julia> @everywhere using ColorTypes
The first one loads the code on all workers; the only thing the second one does
is to bring the bindings into Main (if you need that).
