Not sure if this does what it was inteded to.

$ printf '%s = '\''%s'\''\n' ${(kv)color} | sort
  = ''''''
' ${(kv)color} | sortnone = ''


When I just do the following I get

$ print ${(kv)color}
none

But I think I figured what you wanted.

Maybe this?

printf '%s = %s\n' ${(kv)color[*]} | sort

Anyway. I tried to to do some kind of single step printf debugging after 
your printf hints and added the files as an attachement. I hope it might 
be usefull to you, I just see there that the mapping at some point 
fails, and bg-blue seems to be associated with fg-red. "bg-blue = 
fg-red". Maybe some loop is missing a value and leads to an "uneven 
association".

What I did:

I added some printfs to the colors function.

called
$ unset -f colors
$ autoload -U colors
$ colors
and grabbed the ouput.

I fear the line numbers are rubbish but you can see the place in the 
colors file.

Godspeed.

Thanks for the insight. I get it.

You just got to love it when you have to solve those kind of problems in IT.
