 These are the base colours for the I.F.F. system, which shows ships on the
 scanner in the following colours, depending on the type index for this ship
 (as returned by the iff_index routine). The base colours determine the colour
 of the dot, as well as the underlying colour of the stick (which can be
 striped, depending on the corresponding EOR colour from iff_xor).

 The colours for the normal dashboard palette are:

   Index     Dot colour  Stick colour(s)     Ship types
   0         Green       Green               Clean
   1         Yellow      Yellow              Station tracked
   2         Green       Green and yellow    Debris
   3         Yellow      Yellow and red      Missile
   4         Green       Green and red       Offender/fugitive
