I've improved this a bunch this evening, having it average the
colors more correctly every time you add one.  (Before, it was
taking the current color, and adding some of the new one.
This lead to Red+Yellow+Blue resulting in a different
color than Red+Blue+Yellow, Yellow+Blue+Red, etc.!)

I've also added multiple levels of Undo/Redo.  Please test it out
and let me know if you come across any bugs!

Finally, the color proportions shown at the bottom
(e.g., "Your color is 1/3 red, 1/3 yellow, and 1/3 blue")
will now show simplified fractions as alternatives, when possible.
For example:

  Your color is 5/10 (1/2) red, 4/10 (2/5) yellow, and 1/5 black.
