The docs for an Unmodifiable Set, List, or Map state that they are "value-based", meaning that the identity of the stored objects cannot be relied upon. I think `Color` is the only place where that could even possibly be an issue, since both the Color constants and the method to get a Color by looking up a string in a Map are public. In the event that `Map.get` returned an instance that was `.equals` but not `==`, an application might see a difference in behavior. I'm not sure that actually applies to the values in a `Map.entry` passed into `Map.of`, though.

I misread this. It is the Set, List or Map itself that is "value-based" not the entries contained therein. So there is no problem that I can see.

I will do more testing and a more careful review later.
