I'm not sure about this. I agree that STATUS{BG,FG}COLOR is
misleading. We'd have then:

BORDER{BG,FG}COLOR
SELTAG{BG,FG}COLOR
NORMTAG{BG,FG}COLOR
MODE{BG,FG}COLOR
TITLE{BG,FG}COLOR
STATUS{BG,FG}COLOR
DMENU{BG,FG}COLOR

That are 14 colors! Too much in my eyes for a small status bar.

Instead of your proposal I propose the following, which is a
simplification of current colorscheme:

[UN]FOCUSCOLOR -> used for focused/unfocused borders
NORM{BG,FG}COLOR -> used for bar bg, unselected tags, mode,
                    status [and dmenu normal stuff]
SEL{BG,FG}COLOR -> used for selected tags, title [and dmenu normal stuff]

That are 6 colors!

How about this to keep things even simpler:

Define these (6) colors:
NORM{FG,BG,BORDER}COLOR
SEL{FG,BG,BORDER}COLOR

And then use NORM{BG,FG}COLOR for the entire bar (unselected tags,
mode, title and status), separating different stuff (the tags, the
mode, the title and the status) with a one-pixel-wide vertical line
(with color NORMFGCOLOR).
SEL{BG,FG}COLOR would then only be used for selected tags.
{NORM,SEL}BORDERCOLOR speak for themselves I guess...

Greetings, Sander.
