what about:

r, g, b = c.rgb
r, g, b, a = c

?

hm i guess nonsensical 'cause not bw compat, and new code could do just:
r, g, b, _ = c

i don't know, but would vote for something bw compat, 'cause there is 
quite a lot of old pygame code out there that will probably not be ported 
and it's always nice to be able to run the old stuff with current libs 
(instead of trying to have some old pygame installations also besides the 
current that is used for new dev).
