I think so, because it is the constructor that will be called from the
set function:

  class line : public base_graphics_object
  {
  public:
    class line_properties : public base_properties
    {
    public:
      ...
      void set (const property_name& name, const octave_value& val)
      {
        ...
        else if (name.compare ("color"))
          color = color_property (val);
        ...
      }
      ...
    };
    ...
  };

Either that, or the set function will have to do the parsing.  I think
it is better for the property constructor to do it.
