Ah, that explains it. Thanks a lot Alan!

I don’t see how mp picks its random numbers - when I recompile, I always get the same colors in the same order. They are “random” in the sense that there is no fixed order, but I was surprised that every run produces the same random order. RandomColor is nice, but not for my current purpose because I want to choose from a fixed list (colors are used as backgrounds, so I can only use dark colours, e.g.). Thanks a lot!
