Summary

Remove the synchronized keyword from java.awt.Color.createContext()

Problem

java.awt.Color.createContext() is still marked as synchronized despite no longer accessing shared mutable state. This introduces unnecessary synchronization overhead which can degrade performance in multi-threaded rendering scenarios.

Solution

Drop the "synchronized" keyword from the java.awt.Color#createContext() method to reduce the overhead of the method in multi-core environments.
