I actually don't know how the "auto" behaves.  From the description it seems the colors might actually change gradually throughout the day, thus making an enum useless and necessitating the use of the actual colors.

Is it necessary for any application to know about "auto"? Presumably when
the mode automatically changes from one to the other there would be an
event that should be handled, just as if the user changed the setting while
the application was running.
