When I first did the color stuff I asked for suggestions.  All I put in  
the default scheme was a red for tcp and a green for arp.  These were  
designed to be close to what LanWatch used.  LanWatch is/was a  
commercialization of some old DOS code from CMU and someone else.  At one  
point it was called netwatch.  Anyway, I got requests for schemes and  
comments that most folks seemed to want custom colorizations based on the  
project of the day.  As a consequence, I abandoned my efforts to create a  
default color scheme.
