That error is only produced when reading the file. If Emacs.clr has
been deleted then Emacs can't read it, because it doesn't exist, so it
shouldn't produce any error.

It does write the file out, but that's very clearly an error on read.

My money would be on a rogue .clr file from some other application
being at fault here. Are there other files in ~/Library/Colors/? If
you delete them, or move them elsewhere temporarily, does the problem
go away?
