I would prefer something like a tooltip. IIRC I never ran into the problem of taking an argument to still be valid so a different color would just distract me. I mean, *a lot* of objects get a different value from the initialized one soon after a patch was loaded, for example every [f 0]X[+ 1] counter or many [osc~ 440]. And they might even be at their default value again for some time later, so a different color sounds a little bit useless.

Additionally I think, that there is no natural connection between the graphical signal: "object colored differently" and the information to be transported: "default value is overwritten". A tooltip however would directly display the needed information, so the connection between the graphical event and the information displayed is very close.

And last: When printed - I know Hans doesn't do that, but ... ;) - when printed, all objects should look the same, regardless what value they hold currently.
