Different color line loads

As you are entering a loads for a stick-built roof system, it can often be confusing to keep up with the line loads for different ceiling areas and the roof loading. I think it would be beneficial to have different color line loads to designate ceiling and roof loads, so that a user can easily view the loads they've entered and ensure that all ceiling/roof loads have been accounted for. For instance, you could use pink for ceiling loads and blue for roof loads. I think it would be best if these colors were able to be user-defined.
