For me, comprehensive examples that show off how all available
parameters are used are probably more important to rapid comprehension
of a new component or library of components than a color coded table. 
The table is useful as a reference, once I already have a baseline
familiarity with how things work, but as someone who first used Tacos
less than 12 hours ago, I can say that some of the examples in the
documentation could have been clearer and more up to date.  But, if
you are going to generate a table of parameters, color coding them
according to client-side or server side would certainly aid
comprehension and readability.  But since I assume they'll be grouped
together, the colors are probably superfluous.
