There may be use cases where a user would want to define different
colors in the board editor and in the footprint editor. Typically you
are dealing with more layer in the board editor than the footprint
editor so using the same colors may be less than optimal. I would
prefer that we make it optional to link the footprint editor layer
colors to the board editor layer colors but don't force that as the only
option. If you force it, you will most likely get another bug report
from a user who uses different color sets. I would prefer that we defer
this to v6 since it's a behavioral change.
