The WL language's GetColor() function simplifies the task of assigning unique, harmonious colors to users in our task management system. Instead of manually assigning and managing colors, GetColor() uses the user's ID to consistently generate the same color. This approach reduces complexity and ensures that each user has a unique color, enhancing visual identification in the system.
