[APBeta] Default reticle colors...

[Bruce Pipes]

You know, Paul, I agree with you that this seems a lot of work for  
little gain. I also agree that Plan B seems to introduce a bunch of  
new, probably excess, options.

To be honest, if the default color of all the reticles was yellow, I  
would be happy and would not probably not change them. The reason I  
got into this was that when I first ran APv2 the imager reticles were  
red and not very visible, and I had trouble changing them.

Sorry for any extra work I have caused you on this.
