Thanks!
I agree a user setting would be best, preferrably with some nice included palettes.

I left the old commented palettes since there was already several other palettes there.

Perhaps it would make sense to just backport the bug fix, but keep the old 8-color palette?

Overall I think it looks good, but the only issue I saw was that the SIM_PLOT_FRAME::generateColor() function seems to be becoming a graveyard for old colors with 4 old attempts at creating color profiles now commented out. I have merged it into master as is (we can leave those old attempts in there for now to show what has been done before), but I think it would be good to have a larger discussion about making these plot colors user-configurable.

That way they can also add more colors to the 16 if they prefer. Whether this ends up being stored with the simulation settings or in the main Eeschema color settings that will be introduced in v6 is something we should discuss.
