 * Confirmed, absolutely nothing when attempting to do the same..
 * I don’t use it, just wanted to confirm for you… 😉
 * Tried other variants of the name to check for simple typos.
 *     ```
       jquery-Color
       Jquery-Color
       Jquery-color
       jquerycolor
       ```
   
 * Thought it was worth a shot.. 🙂 No difference though..

 * Worked fine for me.
 * All I used was `wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-color' );` and it loaded both jquery
   and jquery-color.
 * Considering it’s loaded on every admin page, I think you’d rapidly notice if 
   it was broken.

 * Ok i tried your method..
 * Result Source:
 *     ```
       <script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>
       ```
   
 * No jQuery color…
 * Seems to load the jQuery fine, but ignores the color one… i’m doing this in the
   theme’s header.php for what it’s worth.. is it reserved for admin only areas?

 * I think that jquery-color is one of the footer scripts. It’s not loaded in the
   header by default. Look in the footer.

 * Yes. It is snug in the footer!

 * Won’t work for me. I’m talking about using it in the theme, as in front-end. 
   Not the admin.
    I am now loading them manually …
