I am not a cairo expert, but assuming you want to pass the device
specific color (such as CMYK) wouldn't be 

  cairo_set_device_color() 

be a more appropriate name?


+cairo_status_t
+_cairo_pattern_get_n (cairo_pattern_t *pattern,
+		      double * planes, int * nplanes)

Why is the color linked to a pattern?
