Yes, I saw it but I have two tiny things to mention:
1) The transformer converts a NSColor "only" to a String à la  
"#RRGGBB". If this is enough for the color picker's output, fine.

2) I always got an error if I tried to set the color for NSColorWell  
via -p 'color="#FF0000";'. The error was:
NSCFString alphaComponent: selector not recognized. I also tried -p  
'color="#FF0000FF";' but no success.

If I copy the same NSColorFromString routine from ValueTransformer.mm  
and use it for setting the color in Dialog.mm, it works!?
