When you click on a color swatch to change a color, the simple color chooser that appears initially lets you choose from a selection of 15 common, well-distinguished colors. Colors in this selection that are already used in the current module's preferences are indicated with a faint white checkmark, while the currently selected color is indicated with a strong white checkmark.
