I think that speaks to what I think is a generally accepted principle
of user reassurance, which includes playing back selections that have
been made, both to let people know that their inputs have been
correctly recorded, and to allow them to correct any wrong inputs.

The way we do this is to use different colours, where another option
is to use strong and light of the same colour. I think that both
options should be visible and obvious, but it should also be obvious
which is the primary option.
