Not sure if it was an idea behind it but one obvious advantage of having 
different kinds of tools use different colors is that it makes it much 
easier finding them when you have a whole stack of overlapping windows 
to dig around in - (which btw is a very common Smalltalk "disease" since 
we have too many shortcuts that spawn new windows). For example, 
something pink sticking out there? Aha, a debugger.
