In context colouring mode, the legend is not especially useful as it is 
only coloured for one particular context (which at least for all of my 
traces, is the system context that only appears at the very end as a 
flush) and has no indication that other contexts will be significantly 
different. Also, I find the black text is really hard to read against 
the dark colour backgrounds. Plus the boxes are too small to actually 
work out what the shading is (for 'ready' and 'incomplete' if not all of 
them).

See attached patch for some tweaks. Basically, add all contexts to the 
key in colour mode, make the boxes bigger and use white text for most of 
it. Although the thought occurs that it might be worth limiting the 
legend to only four or five contexts and just putting an 'etc' at the 
end if there are more. Otherwise a trace with hundreds of contexts could 
be a problem! I'm guessing in that case, the difference in colour from 
one context to the next will be pretty minimal anyway.
