Do you have a suggested hash algorithm that will always generate a usable
color - one that has sufficient contrast with foreground to be readable, yet
not eye-jarring.  Most of the RGB color space is, after all, unsuitable for
use as background colors on Fossil timelines.  Note also that the set of
suitable background colors will also depend on what foreground color you use
for the font.  I guess you could assume that foreground is always black....
