I've done it for myself, but I just wanted to signal that the module will need to be adapted to the changes (and there has been no decision yet as to what these changes will be exactly).

Sorry, that wasn't clear. When I add a vector area map (having changed the script to use d.vect.area instead of d.area), I can then chose the fillcolor and the linecolor. When I click on the color button, I can either 
chose any standard Grass color or I can click on a color palette button which allows me to customize RGB colors. When I do the latter, and then launch the 'display' in d.dm's main window, I can see that the 
command issued is 

d.vect.area mapname fillcolor=grey linecolor=grey

instead of 

d.vect.area mapname fillcolor=r:g:b linecolor=r:g:b

Hope this is clearer.

Yes, I understand. I guess this was meant more as a wish for the future (gratia) version...but since I do not know how this will work, it might be irrelevant.
