Ok, what about adding something like res.tag 
Using those tags (some basic tags could be defined like some basic icons 
are defined and more could be registered) records could be tagged inside 
the code (view or model?) using pyson similarly to states or even maybe a 
new state.

Tag rendering would be defined inside "res.tag" but individual users could 
eventually redefine it inside their preferences.
Here are a few ways tags could be rendered:

   - in form view:
      - icon inside the "huge white square"
      - tag name in full text in "the huge white square" <= probably the 
      best for visually impaired people
      - background or text color in the huge white square
      - form background color
   - in tree view:
      - icon on the left
      - tag name in full text (on the left I guess)
      - color
      - font-weight / font decoration
   

this would be a flexible way to "do the trick" which (I think) would please 
everyone (people who want colors and those who don't). 

What do you think?
