[Xy-pic] color error

[Ben Webster]

Right, I should have specified: I'm using pdflatex on a Mac (though  
I've had the same problem on my PC) with no backend.  This is in  
Beamer, in case, that matters.

I didn't seem anything in the logfile out of order.  It said it loaded  
the color package.

Cheers,
Ben
