Also I would like settings for gold, and the new silver.
How does silver look compared to chrome?

Silver looks more like brushed aluminum.

I think so -- it appears that the new silver is actually the color of the

I don't have a strong opinion between the two suggestions on that (the two
suggestions being trans-black, 32, or trans-dark grey, 40).

I suppose that, since dark grey has some leaning toward brownish-ness, it
makes a better match with the smoke color.

I don't know what edgecolors should be used for colors 256-511,
nor for 0x2000000-0x7FFFFFF

Ooo, edge-colors for direct colors.  Tricky.

Seems like the second-simplest approach would be to use the binary
complement as the edge color, but that would give grayish colors would have
grayish edge-colors.
