Lots of threads with different colors.

Seems slightly odd that this is per-user/per-room instead of per-room or "per user, but with a per-room default". How will users fight over whether a room should be peach or indigo?

I think users who want one color (like a color blind or dark theme) can set their default, or the other use case is identifying rooms visually (so you don't leak private data), which still seems up to the user.

I can't think of any reason room admins would want to set a specific color, other than to add to arguments, like you suggest.

Or you're trolling me.

I'm only half-trolling. Maybe I want to make "Security Red Team" red, or "Buy/Sell" green. Or we let you set custom images and "Dog Lovers" wants to set dog wallpaper.
