The difference is that opacity and blur are cumulative. You can apply
more opacity and more blur on top of old opacity and blur, using
groups for example. Color, however, is not cumulative. You can only
replace the old color with the new one in the object itself (groups
won't help you here), and this is something that a clone only allows
you to do when it has NO old color, i.e. has the color unset.
