[IDV #KNR-996514]: request re. display label default color

> When  a user creates a new display (say contours), its display label is set 
> to a random color.
> 
> That color doesn't correspond to any aspect of the display (the color of the 
> contours etc.),
> so it is just arbitrary. It is meaningless at best, and often enough happens 
> to come out
> actively confusing (the green display label refers to the mostly red contours 
> while
> the red display label means the mostly green contours or whatever).
> 
> Yes, every user could be trained to know enough to burrow down
> 2 menu layers and change the display label color, every time.
> But why should they have to? It is needless "data friction."
> 
> My suggestion: if my color scheme is "white on black", or "blue on white"
> then why not have all display labels default to white or blue respectively?

Brian,

This make sense to me too. We can discuss this in our next committee meeting.
