I was treated to a colorful surprise when I installed the new system (4.2)
onto the Mac 2.  It offered a menu to the right of the "Special" menu
called "Color."  Selecting an icon and then selecting a color from this
menu changes that icon to the color selected.

It allows only one color per icon.  Maybe soon there'll be ways to do
all 256 colors in an icon (well, as many as there are pixels in an icon...)
