Eu estou simplesmente simplificando as coisas para quem tem preguiça de ler um post de um geek e ainda por cima em inglês, quem quiser saber mais, sobre a ferramenta e só ler o artigo original.

I don't think that there is any need to over-engineer the colour selection algorithm! For what it's worth these are my suggestions for how to improve on the prototype: 1) Tablist entries coloured to match the tabs 2) Right-click on tab gives "Tab Colour..." option. This launches a colour picker that allows you to override the default hashed colour. Overrides are saved so that all tab colours are preserved. 3) Tab colour defaults over-ridden by URL pattern matching rules + colour picker (e.g. so you have full control over how alternative/sub-domains are coloured, and similar sites can have similar colours assigned). If the colour picker includes a 'none' option then this will take care of pretty much everyone's personal preferences expressed below. 4) It's especially important that the site x = colour y association be static from session to session. I don't want this changing randomly based on how many tabs I have open etc. This has become my HashColouredTabs replacement - thanks.
