Help with Color.module

I am seeking someone with knowledge of the inner workings of the color.module. This is not a theming question, but rather i need to figure out a way of overriding the names of the regions on the theme config page. Color module ships with 5 regions, Header top, Header bottom etc. I need to find away of changing what these are called. I am thinking that because color.inc gets included by the color.module, I can override in there, but as of yet have failed to do so. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. This may be something that requires a patch to color.module, which perhaps may fall out of the scope of my project (although I am more then willing to give it a shot)

Thanks!
