If you needed a fully scalable solution with support for arbitrary
properties, that would be the way to go. But the OP didn't need
that. All he needed was 3 color-scheme variations of an otherwise
standard NSTableView.

Even supposing the designer can't decide which colors to use for text
and background, tags can still work. Simply reserve 8-bits of the tag
for the text-color, 8-bits for the bkgd-color, and index into a table
of the web-safe colors.

Or index into a table of arbitrarily defined colors. You can get as
much flexibility of colors as you care to program, and there are
still 16 bits unused in the tag.
Will this provide a fully scalable solution for arbitrary
properties? No. But it doesn't need to be. Some things will never
need to scalable. When the simpler solution no longer suffices,
that's the time to create a more complex and scalable one.
