[Therion] Setting Scrap Colours

[Footleg]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the summary. Yes I was asking if there was a way to specify the
actual colours used per scrap or per map so that I could include the
information in my tutorial. But I now understand this is not (yet?!)
possible, and that the colours are assigned automatically (in the order the
scraps or maps are included in the maps?).
