Default color?
I did a bunch of searching for OpenSCAD and color and got none of that.
Especially the reference to predefined color schemes in the first reference
is pretty easy to miss. Is monotone only usable from the command line? I
mean, it didn't occur to me that there were color schemes and I wasn't
looking for that thing exactly.

Read the source?
The library function I'm writing---color an object but not its
children---requires a way to produce the default color. I guess I can
make a $default_color variable so users can fix it if they're using a
different scheme, but it seems like there ought to be a way to produce
the default color.

Nope. I'm always using the Tomorrow styles for both rendering and
editor. From the screenshots attached to github issues and posts on
twitter, it's safe to assume there's at least a good percentage of
people switching to other color schemes than the default Cornfield.

See "show-in-gui" below, I don't know why it is set that way, possibly intended for the test framework(?), but you could edit that.

This morning I realized that because color can never be changed, only set,
I don't actually need to know the default color. I just need to know when
the default color is "selected" and then in that case, don't run color().

Not really any difference between color() and color(undef). I now
have the following:
module _color(color) if (color==undef || color=="default") children();
else color(color) children();
Note that when I save a color I want to be able to distinguish between
a saved color and no saved color, hence the need for a non-undef
default color name.

I'd sure agree with that. I am learning how to use color to separate
modules of a more complex part, and would sure appreciate a "cheat sheet"
devoted to using color in the preview as a means to showing that this
part was made by a module whose format was:
module name()
{
color("nameofcolor")
{
rest of module
}
};
Finding that lookup page in the docs is a many minute search thru the
otherwise excellent docs to find that page every time I want to use a
different color.
A additional link to that page of the docs from the help menu would be
"handier than that famous turn button lock on the inside of the outhouse
door" at a family reunion on a Iowa farm in 1940. ;o) Yup, I'm old enough
to remember that.
Like Picard in star trek, make it so. :)
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

I would point you to the console window then.
color("nameofcolor");

In console:

Now it looks like this needs fixing to be a clickable link
