This would probably be even better accomplished like this:

this.__defineGetter('favColor',function(){
  return this.favColor_ === undefined ? 'red' : this.favColor_;
});
this.__defineSetter('favColor',function(val){
  val == 'red' ? (delete this.favColor_) : this.favColor_ = val;
  return val;
});
