[Karl Schmidt <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used a system that stored the colors in the board file and it caused =>LOTS<= of problems. At 
the very least, you want a way to easily override with a user preference. ( It is good to be able to 
reset colors anyway ).

For a default color pallet - tradition (and what is on several other systems) goes back to when we 
used red and blue tape - Red for Top_Copper and blue for Bottom_copper.  (white(or light gray for 
silk and black for holes is also common )
