I've updated my code so it renders in realtime, like Gareth's, but I've found that replacing half of the colour spectrum with black makes it much easier to see the pattern. You can see that the centres of circles lie on the lines y = x*a and y = x/a, for integers a. There are also symmetries obtained by the fact that x^2=(-x)^2, y^2=(-y)^2, and (x+N)^2 is congruent to x^2 mod N, where N is the number of colours.
