--- Comment #2 from Larpon <dev.lar...@gmail.com> ---
I believe it does work with using colors.

But in the versions I've tried scripting from (4.0 - 4.1.x)
There's a few shortcomings of using colors for "tags":
1. They mess with layer organisation (I currently use colors for fast
recognizing/pin pointing/navigation or as an indicator of special export)
2. No use or hard to use if you're colorblind (if I understand color blindness
correctly)
3. Limited pallette == limited "tags" (can I choose my own colors + add them?)
4. Words make more sense to humans as categories, I believe
5. The colors could change values for some reason between versions - rendering
previous color "tags" unusable

So yes, layer colors could be used - but has some drawbacks as I see it.

Also if special syntax in the layer names become popular we could end up with
some plugins that dictates how you name your layers etc. so also preventing bad
habits.
