[Framers] Deleting Colours

[Bernard Aschwanden (Publishing Smarter)]

I've tried wiping them via MIF (earlier versions) with no luck to speak of.
Perhaps hitting a monitor (always the unwitting victim) and cussing will
help. Not with deleting them, but with the frustration.

No .. I'm pretty sure that the only way to know if it's "in use" is to scan
the entire file for the ColorTag value.

The ColorIsReserved, means that it's "reserved" by FM (a core color,
perhaps, which can't be deleted).

I'm just guessing though. The FDK reference may have more info. I can look
later if someone else doesn't have more useful info.
