Randomly generating colors won't fly because the nick coloring has to satisfy
two related but different requirements: There should be contrast between nicks
to tell them apart more easily, and the same nick should always get the same
color so people can be recognized by their color. The latter requirement is why
the current algorithm hashes nicknames into one slot in a palette of 8.

We are considering increasing the size of the palette to 16 though to provide
more contrast.
