One problem with mere swatches is that a non-trivial part of the male
population (typical programmer's sex) is color-blind in some respect.
If those swatches are used for more than coloring the person's
personal screen (namely if colors may persist), then picking colors
judiciously necessitates seeing their names for such people.
