This is a simplification. The application is the place where a developer 
decides, which toolkit widgets to show the user. The toolkit is not able 
to do so.

This is a call to soften a concept. We talk here about where to create the 
colour transformation.
I am not against placing this code in the toolkit in the first place. But 
it seems more appealing to have the stuff in one place. This would be 
where colour conversion happens - in the last pice of the colour chain.
My take is toolkits should be CM aware and let it passing through.
