 # All four subtracks (webstr, tommoStr, trexplorer, viennaVntr) were recolored
 # from motif-period-based coloring to expected heterozygosity:
 #   het = 1 - sum(p_i^2), blue (low) -> red (high)
 #
 # Color bins:
 #   het < 0.1: dark blue (0,0,180)
 #   0.1-0.3: medium blue (70,130,230)
 #   0.3-0.5: light purple (180,130,200)
 #   0.5-0.7: salmon (230,100,80)
 #   >= 0.7: dark red (180,0,0)
 #   no data: gray (128,128,128)
 
 # webstr: het pooled across 5 1000G populations weighted by sample count
