Unique color mappings

[patgarcia]

I think it would be useful to have unique color mappings for the author's field.

While reviewing the files view, I was scanning for a specific author's name and felt a little cognitively burdened by having to look for the color of that author on each chart.

This is in the neighborhood of #130

Yeah file view is about 48 hours old, and I had the same thought as soon as I saw it. This django package looks interesting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39859224/how-to-use-html5-color-picker-in-django-admin We could also add this to the repo, for the repo graph comparison feature.
