Objective-C save NSColor in NSUserDefaults

Question

How do you save the color of the dot so that when the app is opened and closed the dot is the color it was last set to by the user?

Could someone explain to me how to use NSUserDefaults and in which methods to declare NSUserDefaults.

So far i have this:

NSData *data = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:color];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:data forKey:@"MyColor"];

NSData *data = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"MyColor"];
NSColor *color = [NSUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];

This is what I use:

- (NSColor *)colorForKey:(NSString *)key
{
    NSData  *data;
    NSColor *color;

    data = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:key];
    color= [NSUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];
    if( ! [color isKindOfClass:[NSColor class]] )
    {
        color = nil;
    }

    return color;
    }

- (void)setColor:(NSColor *)color forKey:(NSString *)key
{
    NSData *data = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:color];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:data forKey:key];

    [BFChatWindow refresh];
}
