Since back in my DOS programming days, I've lived in several different Hex editors when analysing data streams. Some great, some ordinary. I would have killed for colour highlighting like Hexyl seems to have.

I wonder though, whether I can colour code 'blocks' to differentiate them? One of the things I seemed to do a lot in hex editors was to check out the differentiation in, for example, 72 byte blocks of data, so to be able to delineate 72 byte blocks in different colours in the hex editor would make it easier to see where each block starts/ends.
