When a user changes his/her color this should be saved by saros, and this colors should be used preferrably in future session when the user invites or is being invited.
This is actually not possible without doing a major code revamp. The color you chose is saved to the annotation. If you have color ID 4, your color is saved with annotation 4. If you join a session, you get color ID 2. Even if you remember your color ID it would not help. Maybe you are now assigned color ID 3, so color ID is already overwritten by another participant.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is not an idea, this is confusing bug. Adjusting the color every time is a madness.
Suppose:
Host: Pink
You: Blue
Next time you start a session, you will be pink !
If you work with 3 developers every day, it is common that you will remember
the color that is associated with that user. Depending on the order on how you would invite (best of it, how they accept, if you invite both at once) them, the may always have different colors.

The idea is not that bad, so "Wont Fix" is not an option. But the priority was too high (7).

Maria, you are working on this, right?
