More attention to colors

There are more important things to do, but if you happen to go over the overall UI again, consider having a non-engineer weigh into the color scheme. The \'\'maroon\'\', \'\'red\'\', \'\'blue\'\' etcetera are quite bold colors, and putting them together in the same chart may be less than pleasing to the eye.

See http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/108/ for why it should be left to a non-engineer.

An example of more pleasing colors is https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery

Using d3.js for the visualization would also be cool, but that\'s a different topic.

    Our designers (we actually have some now!) claim that they are non-engineers, and have paid attention to this in the new UI.rnFeel free to tell us we are wrong!
