I can experiment in conway. I will try to add color by consituent and color by
"sym_repeat".

I tried using the rand map but jumble looks better. But jumble shouldn't be hard
coded so I will ultimately set it to rand.

I didn't realize this would work but conway can select colors from the random
map. I tried many different indexes but I was never able to hit anything yellow!
Mostly it seems to favor the violet part of the spectrum.

What if you could select random entries from the rainbow map? Those colors are
already fairly bright. But there would be nothing in the grey scale mixed in.
Nor would there be anything in the browns or pastels for that matter. It is very
tricky to get a good mix of colors!
