 When I'm in a multi-user chat, Pidgin gives each user a different color.
 In my opinion, it doesn't look professional, and can actually hinder
 usability. In a channel with 1000 people, having 1000 different colors for
 all the users doesn't help me discern one from the other quickly by color,
 and it can often mess up the contrast between names and messages since the
 names can be pretty much any color. Sometimes, people end up with colors
 so close to the color of the text that it makes it difficult to see the
 line between name and message, and some colors are too bright to see
 clearly against the background. Having multi-colored usernames should be
 an option, not an imperative.
