The colour goes back to a default one.  It's hardly mission critical.

So what happens with the next item we want colouring?  Like Studio faders for
example?  Do we want editing dialogs for every set of colours?  Seems like a lot
of work.  Plus for example I want to be able to colour segments on document
import too - the current colour list is a) incomplete regards GM instruments and
according to you b) no use to other entities.  This is just a half way house.

We need a solution one way or the other and having colourlists per entity isn't
in my opinion a good use of anyone's time.  The feature is good as it is - I suggest
we extend it to be generic as I'm suggesting for 1.0 and then after that you can
have your per entity colourlists if that's even a good idea - which I'm not at all
convinced it is.
