Is there any difference (at runtime) between
```
import javafx.scene.paint.Color`
```
and
```
typealias Color = javafx.scene.paint.Color
```

AFAIK there is no difference at runtime (at least for the JVM), it is just an alias for an existing type.
The only difference is see is that `typealias` declarations must be imported if they are defined in another package.
But still, typealiases are a Kotlin-specific feature that is not ported to the JVM (with the exception of metadata, that are visible as an annotation in the compiled code for use with Kotlin's reflection).
