The trouble with using an alarm is if #flash gets called again before
the alarm fires, it will think its negated color is its normal color
and add yet another alarm to reverse it again, leaving it in the
flashed color.

Could you (or Levente) elaborate by why it might not be a good idea?

I think describing use-cases really helps understand context.  For me,
I use flash as a debugging tool, I open an inspector on a Morph and
type "self flash" and press and hold Command+d to DoIt.  I don't
really need the Delay since the key-repeat takes care of it..
