No it was not a coincidence, I deliberatly put Lighten, Darken and
Overlay at the top of their groups to make them act like "labels".
Difference was more or less a coincidence though, but you're right in
that it makes a nice label as well since you can end up with completely
Different colors when using modes in that group.
