NSView colors

I have a custom NSView that contains as an instance variable a color. 
If I set the color in init as lineColor = [NSColor blueColor]; all is 
well. If instead I use [NSColor colorWithCalibratedRed: 0.5 green: 0.5 
blue: 1.0 alpha: 1.0], the program crashes if I try and access or 
change the color later. The initial draw using it is just fine. But 
the next time it's redrawn or if I change the color, everything 
crashes. I have the exact same problem in 2 completely different 
applications. I'd like to be able to initialize the colors with 
something other than the default redColor, blueColor, etc. I've also 
tried one or two of the other ways to specify values and have had the 
same problem. Any ideas on what's going on?
