Sorry for this late answer...
I agree the "unknown color" has to be clearly different of any one a
star can be. One possibility is to use... gray. But perhaps it is rather
non-aesthetic (or at least non conventionnal). Another possibility is to
add a color selector in the "Star display" dialog box where on can choose
if "Color stars" is checked.
