random thought: for people who have never used an oscilloscope (or at least never used a digital one), if you had to pick four colors for four scope channels to be, which four would you pick, and what order would you put them in?

(bear in mind that most oscilloscopes use a black background. but if you want to pick some light-theme colors too go right ahead!)

what our scope uses 

the scope we use at work (a LeCroy WS4104HD) uses yellow, a sort of pinkish desaturated red, cyan, and green in that order, so that's kinda what we're used to

Tektronix and Keysight use the same colors, but in a different order (yellow, green, blue, red for Keysight; yellow, blue, red, green for Tektronix)

yellow seems to be the one everyone uses first for some reason

(well, I say everyone--I didn't look at Yokogawa, Rohde & Schwarz, Siglent, Rigol, or any of the other ones out there)
