How about colouring it differently ?

The primary colours are obvious - Hey I have three attractors, I'll make 
them R, G, B !  The outcome is hardly pleasing though.

I think it might look much better with more subtle choices.  Yellow (or 
Gold) and Blue through Purple mixes perhaps.  Make two of the attractors 
similar and the third one a contrasting colour.

Hopefully you can keep the calculation already done and just render it 
quickly to try different schemes.  Make a render front-end with colour 
sliders.

This from someone who spent ages in FractInt playing with colour schemes 
and colour cycling.
