as taco said, this can be rude (problematic), if really needed i can 
implement \doglobal\definecolor [nb: global must be applied several times 
inside definecolor]

just curious: why do you need to globally redefine colors? maybe a solution 
like

\definecolor[color-a][red]

\definecolor[color-b][color-a]

etc is better
