My idea is to allow the user to choose its own colors from a Preference Panel.

Different colors would help, but for me as a colorblind, all colors are not so important. Other indicators would help to let me focus on my work, not to think much about color differentiation. All colors are difficult if they are light, or the area is very small, like colored characters.

I brought the idea to the guys of http://www.git-tower.com/ . They previously used light colors as background and saturated colors in a small area on the left of the row. You can see the result of my feature request in the attached image. They found a simple solution by adding small symbols in the colored area.

Ok now is more clear and I think your idea is really interesting but this require a bit of work so I hope to start to implement it on version 1.3 or 1.4 so please apologize me for delay
