The problem is that the displays have their own control over the 
color from previous versions but now we are trying to influence them
from the preferences. 

If you have an existing bundle, it will use the colors that were saved
in the bundle.  Any new displays will use the default color.

I initially went with applying the default color, but I have a
bundle where I specifically set the colors and I didn't like that
it changed so I went with the current behavior.  Since the users can
change the color, I wanted to preserve that knowledge, regardless of
the preference.

However, I'm open to changing this logic so let me ponder it a bit
to see if I can do both.
