You can only have one version of a given package at a time. You can, however, have different packages with the same name in the overall dependency graph. It is intentional that you must explicitly declare your dependencies at the top level. These are connected facts since the top-level `Colors` could be totally unrelated to an indirect `Colors` dependency.
