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!)

@Felthry monochrome mode: solid, dashed, dotted, dash-dotted

multicolor mode: white, red, blue, purple

(red/blue is the most widely perceptible color contrast, and purple as the third avoids having both green and red)

selected line is drawn slightly thicker

(we've only ever used an analog oscilloscope)

@packbat we've seen monochrome scopes, but never one that made an effort to distinguish the channels (and selected channel is always just shown by lights on the physical interface)

I feel like having dashed lines or drawing the line thicker would be more of a problem than it would be helpful, as it could miss things that happen quickly
