Hashes are designed so a any change in the data produces a big change in the hash, so hopefully the colors would almost always be strikingly different for two hashes. For comparing many hashes, this wouldn't work out as well because the probability of similar colors goes up faster than that of similar hashes, but most common UIs only need a two or three, right?
