Description
I really like the use of colors in the MicroCloud init/join sessions:
However, I think it could still be improved to leverage the brain's natural ability to do color matching. In those 3 terminals, I'd like it if the initiator's fingerprint (`949f00313e81`) could use a different color (blue?).
Also, once the initiator node displays the possible joining candidates, their respective fingerprint should have a color matching the one used when displaying it in the `microcloud join` sessions. I'd propose the joiners' fingerprints to be shown in yellow to avoid any confusion with "selected joiners" that turn the table's line to green:

Research direction
Start by locating the MicroCloud init and join terminal output that renders node fingerprints. Compare the initiator and candidate displays across bootstrap sessions, then verify that each fingerprint uses a consistent color without confusing the selected-joiner highlighting.
