I needed a unique UI color for npubs that's actually readable / usable.

I couldn't find any derivation scheme that gave me colors that work:

- Chat bubble profiles names

- Across themes (Light, Dark, Ivory, Gray, Sepia, ...)

So I thought up the absolute simplest thing that does work:

Just 15 or so hardcoded colors: https://github.com/coracle-social/flotilla/blob/68ebd32e1500bc5a6ac9f5e23c3ed66ea25ca55d/src/app/state.ts#L123

I've used HSL in the past, but never was very happy with the results

The first color I see is unfortunately not usable in Light mode.

The one for my own pubkey, neither.

Also, why not use the full HEX pubkey to avoid weird or repeating colors with mined keys etc?
