Setting a random colour per group - is there a better way?

I want to set feature colours at random according to an attribute value (similar to a thematic map).

 

 

At the moment I'm achieving this by taking the data, using a duplicateremover so there is one instance of each group, a featurecoloursetter with the color scheme set to random, an attributekeeper to keep only the group attribute and the colour and then a featuremerger to merge the data back with the original data so that all features that share a certain attribute value have the same colour.

 

 

It seems a bit long winded and I'm wondering if  I've missed a better way to acheive this.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
