I like this not merely as a good first step but potentially a good endgame.

I doubt you want these to be static (and allow multiple instances of the same configuration variable to accumulate). As you defined the value to be comma-separated colors, users would want the usual "last one wins" rule to override previous settings, no?

Show 6 quoted lines

On the other hand, if you do want cumulative semantics, then you'd need to free the previous set you held in the statics here, I would think.

"ignore invalid color"?  Who is giving the command to ignore to whom?

"by" in the function name somehow sounds funny, at least to me.
