Palette selection is questionable. It's mostly based on the hash itself, but the colors chosen are
sort of arbitrary, and certain color profiles are omitted based on the author's personal taste. For
example, the color palette for "light yellow" is omitted because it's hard to look at and
distinguish, while dark yellow is kept because it doesn't have that problem. If palettes are ever
removed or added in the future, this will have a cascading effect on palette selection, since this
is done by taking the sum of all of the bytes in the hash mod the number of palettes available. As
the software evolves, a colorhash made 5 years ago may have a different look today.
