Implemented this feature to fix color bug with our Thanks a lot! |

Good work. 👍 |

I have implemented a similar feature a few weeks ago. We call it Checkout our User Guide at here. We support both RGB values and 140 color names pre-defined in CSS standard. |

The tags are all displayed with the same color. It is hard to differentiate between tags visually across contacts. For example, it is hard to visually group all contacts tagged with "colleague". It is also hard to differentiate between those contacts that are tagged with "colleague", and those that are not tagged with "colleague". Let's add different colors to different tag labels. Tags of the same name will always receive the same color, while different tag names should receive different colors if possible. To assign a random color to each tag, while still retaining the colors for each run, the hash of the tag string is used to determine the tag color. This design is influenced by a student's suggestion[1]. [1] nus-cs2103-AY1718S1/forum#199

Did you implement the colored tags suggestion from the developer guide?
Noticed that colored tags and labels always changes whenever the program restarts?
Users tend to remember and identify colors easier than the text string itself, so an ever-changing colored tag is a big NO-NO to user experience!
Managed to implement a way to have persisting colored tags without having the need to store tag color data onto an offline file! It's extremely easy to implement FULL CODE is provided.
Check out the Developer Guide here.
