Summary0008773: Outline, point, and line coloring should NOT follow default surface color
DescriptionRight now representations color outline, point, and line representations by the global surface color by default. Oddly, this is the wrong thing to do. The reason surfaces have their own color is because you usually want it very light, even when the background is also very light, so that you may see the shading. However, if you draw a light, unlit line or point on a light background, it is very difficult to see or invisible.

Thus, the default color for these unlit features should follow a different default color. Which one? I don't know. Maybe foreground.

There is also some oddness where the color could change when you change representations. I don't know how that should be handled.

 Now, the AmbientColor is changed when the
representation type is set to Wireframe/Outline/Points. Otherwise the the
DiffuseColor is set using the GUI. AmbientColor is linked to Foreground Color
while DiffuseColor is linked to SurfaceColor.
This implies that when user changes representation type from surface to
wireframe, there may be a color change, but that's a side effect we have to live
with with make the palettes behave correctly for non-shaded and shaded geometry.
