 Consider the following code:

 {{{
             $wp_customize->add_setting($color,array(
                     'default'           => '#000000',
                     'sanitize_callback' => 'sanitize_hex_color',
                     'capability'        => 'edit_theme_options',
                     'transport'         => 'postMessage'
                 )
             );
             $wp_customize->add_control(new
 WP_Customize_Color_Control($wp_customize,$color,array(
                         'label'         => 'somelabel',
                         'section'       => 'colors'
                     )
                 )
             );
 }}}
 The default 'type' used for add_setting() is 'theme_mod' as defined in
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference%5CWP_Customize_Manager%5Cadd_setting

 The WP_Customize_Color_Control '''does not''' accept the 'default' setting
 when there is no 'type' specified.

 The WP_Customize_Color_Control '''does accept''' the 'default' setting
 when 'type' is either set to 'option' or 'theme_mods'.

 Setting it to 'option' makes no sense because that would imply that one
 would be using a custom option database field with get_option() instead of
 the default database field used by get_theme_mod().

 Because setting it to 'theme_mods' works and 'theme_mod' does not i
 suggest checking code for typos.

 Expected behavior would be for it to work with theme_mod/get_theme_mod
 stored values when the default 'type' is used.
