Yes, but it's slow. Very, very, very slow. On a Dual 2 GHz G5, it takes 
4 seconds to do a cold open of the color picker using that command. 
Immediate repeated use is more like 1 or 2 seconds, which is still high 
for a G5.

It might be interesting to use fs_usage and Shark to see where that 
time goes. I suspect it's mostly spent instantiating AppleScript.
