I actually quite like the effect. But sure, there's no harm in trying 
alternatives.

I've designed my program so that the integration engine dumps its state 
to a file, and a seperate program reads that back and produces a PNG 
file out of it. That way I can easily reprocess it to get different 
colourings.

The only problem is... if you try to render at high resolutions, you 
quickly reach a point where the computer spends more time nailing the 
harddrive than actually running computations. Still, for the purposes of 
trying different colourings, this doesn't matter too much.
