Hmm, I don't really see the difference between colors and fonts. 
After all, the font methods in KGlobal are also different from the
other methods in KGlobal and similar to those in KGlobalSettings
in that they  a) return an (implicitly shared) object, not a pointer 
to an object, b) have a lifetime which depends on KControl settings, 
not the same lifetime as the instance/application.
