Ugh...don't blindly copy other langauges without understanding why they 
do the things they do. Your "new" statements are completely useless, 
they do nothing. Anyway, my idea of the syntax would be more like this:

def ColoredSphere: derive sphere {
    ColoredSphere(cent, rad, col) {
        sphere {cent, rad pigment {col}}
    }
}

def RedSphere: ColoredSphere {< 1,-2, 3>, 1, color < 1, 0, 0>}

ColoredSphere {< 1,-2, 3>, 1, color < 1, 0, 0>}
