Module for adding colors

Hi, Jürgen,

This is in response to your statement in a previous thread (not mine): "But you can write a module and use the color definition syntax used in
the latexcolors file (shipped with LyX) to support these. We could even include this to the distribution."

I have tried this, but LyX does not seem to like the Color command in modules.  I have added new colors directly to latexcolors and used a module to add \usepackage{latexcolors} to the preamble and that works like a charm.  But changing a system file is obviously not the preferred method.  I'd like this functionality because I have been using the colors on latexcolor.com for years and this will support those old files.  I never knew there was a latexcolors package on CTAN and wrote my own .sty using the commands available on that website.  I've also written my share of modules, layouts, etc. for LyX, so that is not new to me, but I cannot seem to get this to work.  LyX has a problem reading the file as soon as I include the Color segment.  I did not use ColorModel because that is xcolor-specific and latexcolors.sty doesn't require any of that.  Using syntax that works in latexcolors does not work in a module and I am hoping you have an idea as to what if anything I may be doing wrong.

Thank you!
