Maybe I'm missing something with your implementation but wouldn't something like: 
package Rover; #a class of it's own ;)

sub get_set_color {
    my $self = shift;

    if( @_ ){
       $self->oo_set( 'color' , $_[0] );
    }
    else {
       $self->oo_get( 'colour' );
    }
}

lead to the same problem that Abigail-II was talking about in the first place?

    Well, as long as you base such a thing upon a hash (and a variable solution like the Superclass must use a hash), you cannot avoid that, but it's limited to a few lines of accessor method code. I don't think it's productive to assume a typo wherever possible and to make it impossible to break things.

    This cannot happen when you create an accessor method automatically.
