Current Problem
Currently, the dynamic color generation for the Recharts streamgraph can produce deep hues (specifically dark purples and blues) that blend into the application's dark background (bg-gray-950).
This was flagged via user feedback on Reddit, noting that the lack of contrast makes specific data strata difficult to read and track over time.
Proposed Solution
Modify the color generation utility to enforce a higher baseline for both saturation and lightness. The colors need to act more like neon/pastel highlights rather than deep matte colors.
