Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I always have difficulty reading youtube chat properly compared to twitch's, due to the usernames being just a sort of grey/green blob.
This would go a long way towards making chat easier to read (or at least it really helped when I tried it).

Describe the solution you'd like

A setting that allows for the colors of usernames to be randomized.
If you want to maintain consistent colors between messages of the same user, it could be based on the username itself.

Expected behavior

Not sure why this is required for feature requests since it's basically the same thing as the section above.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Anything else?

Here's a couple screenshots showing the difference.

@KentoNishi I could take a shot at this when I have time! I think this also requires careful considerations regarding the range of colors, variety, as well as coming up with a way to still distinguish members/non-members.

Interesting, seems YT is conducting an A/B test of their own chat coloriser according to some reports:
