+// `Color` is the RGBA TYPE (`./types`, re-exported above); './colors' exports a
+// palette MAP that also happened to be called `Color`, so the name arrived at
+// every consumer as both a type and a value. It shadowed the thing people
+// actually annotate with. The palette has always had two other names —
+// `Colors` and `ColorConstants` (the latter is literally `= Color`) — so
+// nothing is lost by dropping the third.
+//
+// Verified before removing: no code in engine, shooter, editor, garden or jump
+// reads the palette through the name `Color` (i.e. `Color.Red`). `jump` imports
+// `Color` from here, but only ever in TYPE position (`const WHITE: Color = {...}`),
+// which the type re-export above still serves.
