**Colors aren't always RGBA.**
For pen-and-paper turtles, we don't have RGBA colors.
Colors should also be specifiable with strings corresponding to CSS basic colors: black, silver, gray, white, maroon, red, purple, fuchsia, green, lime, olive, yellow, navy, blue, teal, and aqua.
**Turtles should maybe communicate states.**
Ludus should have access to turtle states.
This is important for push/pop situations that we use for L-systems.
There are two ways to do this: Ludus does its own bookkeeping for turtle states, or it has a way to get the state from a turtle.
