I don't know. The important thing is that we get as many colors as possible, 
that they are as distinguishable as possible. So the hard-coded colors 
actually are a linear choice from all available colors, with a distance from 
each other that makes them still distinguishable, and with the same 
brightness for all of them. I don't know what we should compute automatically 
about this. Maybe it would make sense, so we could make configurable how many 
colors there are(and thus how distinguishable they are, and how many 
different variables can be highlighted). A thing we might need to do is 
transforming them so they are very bright if the editor background-color is 
black.
