@kwokcb I'm not opposed to this idea at all, but I wonder if @mialana's latest improvement to the color space of the Graph Editor UI makes this change less critical, as the default color scheme of the UI is now respected.

I posted a screenshot in related PR https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/MaterialX/pull/2413, giving a sense of how the Graph Editor UI now appears:
