Problem to solve: For people who regularly use more than one OpenGarage, There is a significant risk of opening or closing a door at the wrong house. This could create injury or a security risk.
Solution: One easy method of mitigation would be to allow the background color to be customized.
I propose three options for color:
standard, custom, and automatic, with the default being the standard color
Standard would be no change from the current appearance.
Custom lets the user specify their own color in hex.
Automatic would take the assigned name of the open garage, convert it to lowercase and remove all spaces and then perform a hash and take the last three bytes of the resultant hash to use as color. So that if two people named the open garage the exact same thing they would have the exact same color.
Even smarter would be to take that hash value and add a number to it so that the hash of the default name of open garage results in the default color. Then automatic could be the default out of the box and when you change the name you get a unique color.
