Currently nickname colours are generated by a tuned random generator. They are remembered in a volatile object, so on the next page load a different set of colours is chosen. It would be nice if each nickname would have it's own colour retrieved by some algorithm that would always work the same.

Bonus points: the more similar the nicknames, the more similar the colours.
Double combo: really nice colours (an index of all the best ones?).
