Actually this isn't as easy as it seems.

Only GTK and GTK-2.0 clients implement this function.  Most of the
others could use it, though.

But this function corresponds to init_color_system.  Currently both
functions are called in ui_main().  So, they should both instead be
called from main().  But this isn't easy under all GUIs since it changes
the order in which functions are called.  In GTK and GTK-2.0, I believe
it will mean moving some initialization code up into ui_init(), which is
otherwise empty.
