Indeed! I look forward with great anticipation (silly phrase :-) ) to seeing
this!

Whohoo!

OK. The trouble with it is that because of the way many things are
hard-coded in blender, it requires a heck of a lot of little changes
( cpack to BIF_set_color or whatever) all over the place, often in 
obscure files and functions. :-/

Defining colour-ranges should be fairly easy to add... basically just 
doing GREY, LIGHT, DARK, etc on the default background colour? The
reason I haven't coded these in yet is that (again) its all done with 
millions of scattered cpack calls needing replacing all over the place.

I'll try and make a patch today and get it ready.
