[racket] color does not match like other structs

Although it doesn't appear to be documented, the color structure can
be found in mrlib/image-core.  So you can do this:

;;;;;;;;;;
#lang racket
(require (except-in 2htdp/image color)
         (only-in mrlib/image-core color))

(match (make-color 3 4 5)
  ([struct color (r g b a)]
   'ok))
;;;;;;;;;;


I think part of what was interfering with what you were doing earlier
is that the 'color' structure isn't exposed as a structure in
2htdp/image, but instead is exposed as a HTDP-level primitive.

Good luck!
