I will consider an option to customize these colors.

Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, these colors are predefined and selected from a simple hash from the property value.
I realize some colors can be hard to see a difference and sometimes different property values produce the same hash.
(This is why the feature is off by default)

Using dividing lines might be a better approach in a future release.

Using dividing lines
This might be the best approach. A border line like Excel's cell border is enough.
