1331	Attempted override of builtin color produces traceback	Elaine Meng	Eric Pettersen	"{{{
The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Darwin-17.7.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 0.8 (2018-09-26)
Description
trying to redefine builtin color gives traceback

Very minor bug.  I agree it should not be possible to redefine a builtin color, but should give message rather than traceback.  Example command: color name red 80,80,80
