dotfiles-setting and svn-import have very similar colors, as do
git-import and timelineAntialiasing.

dotfiles-setting    : #AFC3C8
svn-import          : #A2BABF

git-import          : #92C1BB
timelineAntialiasing: #8FC1BC

I know it's just bad luck that we have several color coincidences at the
same time, but even so I wonder what can be done to improve hash_color().

I see some work has been done in this area.  Has it gotten any
attention?  I ran "f merge -cherrypick viric_newcolours" in my Fossil
checkout then recompiled, and now the colors indeed are easier to
distinguish.

The /brlist page used to have a color test mode.  Is it still there?
Hmm.  Yes it is, just append "?colortest" to the URL.

Running it gives disappointing results.  Numerous branches hash to
precisely the same color, that being #A0C0C0.  A couple other colors
repeat, e.g. #E08080.  Probably more, but right now I don't have time to
make a full list.
