I can think of a way to deal with different coloured strands. You rotate each
element (with the multiple-colours defined on it) around the gradient of the
position of each element, increasing the angle as you go along. I can send
details on how to do this if anyone likes. That way, you can have a twisted
string with multi-coloured strands.
