The two colours form a gradient as your quoted text is nested deeper and
deeper.  I have blue and red, so the first level is blue, and as there are
more quoted levels it goes to purple, then red.  However currently it's not
very obvious unless you have a lot of levels.

I was going to look at this, but right now time is short and I'm doing DND
stuff.  Maybe later.
