Right now, when there is no pre-defined list of states for a time graph view, each concrete view has their own way of generating colors.

For instance, the callstack / flamegraph view have one and colors often look identical if the strings to display are close to each other.

The XML time graph views also have their own way to select colors for values, which give rainbow colors with no theming whatsoever.

There should be a common way, starting from a set of nice colors, that makes sure that a given string will always have the same color in all the views and traces, but also makes sure that 2 strings close in name give visually different colors.
