I had to take a screen-shot, and compare the RGB values in GIMP to
actually notice a difference between the colours currently used for
object drawing, and whilst dragging. It is virtually imperceptable, even
when zoomed in. (But it is a shade darker - 205 rather than 255).
Unless the gamma on my LCD panel is just meaning I can't distinguish
well, I'd say there is so little difference that we shouldn't bother.
Use the configured object colour for outline/drag/XOR.
That neatly solves the problem where it might not show up on the monitor
too - assuming the normal object colour does. ;)
