Sure but now it is hardcoded. If in libgis a change is done, the
developer needs to remember to update v.colors as well
(in GRASS >= 6.4 the color stuff was centralised in libgis to not
have it scattered around).

I don't know about v.colors.py in GRASS 7, I hope that the
C function can be called there which generates the color table
list.
