My colors:

#   R G B  Name
-----------------------------
0:  9 4 0  Dark Reddish brown
1:  F B 0  Yellow
2:  0 4 9  Navy blue
3:  0 A 9  Aqua

Check it out now with your Extras:Tools/Palette.

(In case your not familiar with hexadecimal notation, 'F' = 15 and 'B' = 11.

You might also like to try a different pointer (I think the standard one
is ugly).  (I suppose an IMHO would be in order here).

    DMLLLMMLLDD
     DMLLDDMMLLD
      DMLD DDMMD
       DMD   DD
        DD

Where:

L is a light color (I use B A B), the first one in Preference's Set Pointer,
D is a dark color (I use 0 0 0), the second one in Set Pointer, and
M is a medium color (I use 9 7 9), the third one in Set Pointer.

The hot point is in the obvious position.
