So that argues heavily against using a daemon. All sorts of other user
configurations (shells, GUI's apps. etc. etc.) work fine with
user local config files in ~.

It's not like color config is something that needs to
be system wide - it's local to the user and their applications,
and anything not local is set by an administrator.
