Comment (by technosailor):

 The code for creating gradient colors for such a routine strikes me as
 bloat. I tried to write some test code a variety of different ways and
 ended up ripping code from php.net instead. Even that is 'thick' code. My
 sample script for feedback:

 And the display:

 It's not WP code but could be integrated. The gradient code is more
 excessive than I'd prefer (and I think most devs would agree), but I toss
 it out there as an option. As I see it, we could just pass optional
 start_color and end_color vars into wp_generate_tag_cloud() with defaults
 of 000000 and 000000. That shouldn't spoil the status quo at all but would
 allow tag cloud "colors".

 Thoughts?
