Do we really need to add every color to locals()?
See original GitHub issueCurrently, constants.py is adding every color inside COLOR_MAP to the locals() dictionary. This is usually frowned upon in Python in general.
If we want to keep exposing all colors to the end user without any namespace access (like manim.colors.RED or some such), then we can carefully import all colors inside __init__.py. This could be done for the purpose of backward compatibility.

I still think we should move all colors to something like
manim.colors, and turn them all intoColourinstances too. We can easily do this in a backwards-compatible way.#488 implements this.
