Prefer to give the same process color to processes of different name lengths

[cornelk]

For example, currently:

process	color
test	blue
test123	yellow
test12	red
word	blue

For better visibility/differentiation of processes:

process	color
test	blue
test123	yellow
test12	blue
word	red

I'm not 100% sure I understand the request. The idea of the colour palette is to have different colors for different processes so its easy to find logs for a specific process at a glance.

In your example (second table), can you explain whyt test and test12would get the same color but not test123. Also how would this help readability?

In the first table, I assume its just an example if the colour palette would only have three colours and you want to avoid that if a colour is reused, its done for processes that have a different name length?

Issue looks pretty stale.
