cool, i'll try it out again. I always find myself using the same or similar
colors when I don't have a color choser around. sometimes even switching my
typing habits, like switching from decimals in vectors to fractions in
vectors (<0.xxx, 0.xxx, 0.xxx> versus <xxx/256, xxx/256, xxx/256>) gets me
out of habits and into different colors.
