With the next-to-be-released version, this becomes:

  $color = $widget->get_colormap->color_alloc( { red => 0, green => 0,
                                                 blue => 65000 } );

Gtk::Gdk::Color doesn't have a real Perl proxy, like the other Gtk
types. This makes a certain amount of sense to me, but I can't easily
explain the logic, beyond "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
