OS: Windows 10 Pro Version 1703.
KiCad Version: 4.0.7, release build.
Working in Pcbnew and the Footprint Editor:
Is it possible to change, edit, or otherwise customize the 30 default color options offered in the Layers Colors Dialog Box or are these hard coded?

I believe these are hard coded. However, this may already be updated in the nightlies (but I don’t know for certain).
For the nightlies, it is possible to edit the colours for both eeschema and pcbnew in the respective preferences - the solarised theme is one that I am using and have been very happy with.
Usual scary warning about using nightlies (backward compatibility, possible instability etc) apply -YMMV.
I spend time in Eeschema the longer I spend the longer I hurt my eye from white background.
Even I change to black still the dark tone of component especially red color still quite headache sometime.
Anybody have workaround on this and like to share your comfortable color setting for me?
Now if for a glance then I set it to white background, if for long time I set it to black background. Still not easy get use to this
Please…
I use flux, another program to red shift my display. It means my eyes dont hurt after staring at a project for a few hours
