Actually, there's very good point to this.
But it also got me thinking that if uniformity is what is really
desired, you can still achieve a very nice effect by cycling through a
small set of colors in a fixed order... say alternate between the new
gray and the old gray throughout the whole track, and it'd actually
probably look kinda cool.
As I said elsewhere, I'm unhappy about the loss of these colors, but I
think I'll live.
