[External] : Re: Convenience factories for Border and Background

[Kevin Rushforth]

No, I don't like this option at all. This would just duplicate a lot of 
API methods that would end up delegating to Color. And it would be much 
worse to duplicate the color constants. This just doesn't seem like a 
clean API approach.
