The coloring of those fields is based on a hashing algorithm of the tag
(it's done in the log4net module I wrote).  I can take Red out of that
rotation, though that will definitely cause at least a few days of
confusion as the colors people are used to for certain tags will go away.

How big an issue do people see for using red for a tag coloring?  I'd
like to hear some more voices before changing that.
