Description
Perfetto has no option to specify colors, but instead hashes the name into reasonable colors to differentiate blocks. The Pix API should offer something similar. Since there is none, most pass a constant color to each Begin/EndEvent. "Wait" could also be special cased to highlight in red.

Research direction
Start with the Pix API entry points that emit BeginEvent and EndEvent, and compare the linked Perfetto ui/src/components/colorizer.ts implementation. Determine how pseudocoloring and the special red treatment for "Wait" should be exposed, then use the repository's decoder and tests to verify the resulting event colors.
