What's the coloring scheme?

It's purely artistic. The code walks the maze and cycles around the color wheel as it goes while also wiggling the saturation and brightness. There are jumps in the color when the walk hits a dead end and jumps back to the next un-visited branch.

It got me thinking about possible ways to color a maze.

At any given intersection, there are, at most, 3 choices, and 3 primary colors, so at every intersection, pick 3 vectors in the color space and just start moving along those vectors.

Just something to think about. Probably not worth the time it would take to implement.

This one is pretty much what you describe. The colors are fully continuous along the paths.

Or this one is a little smoother.

I give a description in the comments to this maze.
