Only make "readable" colors available

[chrisjohnston]

Binary package hint: gobby

When many users have already entered a session, often times the number of color combinations is reduced and in order to at least join a session users end up choosing unreadabe color, such as back on dark blue background.

Although it may debatable what " readable " color combinations are, it would be prefereable to give this some thought and try to offer more sensible choices, as dark color will make content reading useless for the collaborators.

I lack the knowledge to propose a sensible logic to choose such colors, but the end result should be a readable collaboration session.

As I said on the launchpad bug Gobby 0.4.90 and later don't check for duplicate user colors. The upcoming Gobby 0.4.93 adapts the color to a user's individual background color of the text editing view.

I don't want to spend much time for the 0.4 series on this. Would it be enough to just disable the duplicate color check as well?
