I'd agree with this.  Remember that some of us are colourblind, so we
might choose colour schemes that seem wierd to "normal" people.

Personally, I'd say that a .pcb file should describe the attributes of
the PCB itself, not how the application should display it.  Things like
display colours of layers should be defined by the user's global
settings.
